Description

This RF pigtail cable is a fundamental component for wireless system integration, bridging the gap between standardized antenna ports and custom RF circuitry. The SMA female connector provides a semi-precision, threaded coupling mechanism designed for stable connections in environments subject to movement or vibration, commonly used with Wi-Fi routers, cellular modems, GPS receivers, and LoRa gateways.

The opposite end terminates in a prepared stripping head, where the central conductor and braided shield are exposed for direct soldering. This design is ideal for prototyping, repairing antenna traces, or connecting to modules without built-in connectors. The RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a balance of flexibility and low signal loss, suitable for indoor and compact outdoor deployments where high-frequency performance is critical.

Key Features

  • Semi-precision SMA female connector with external 36 TPI threads for secure mating.
  • Exposed stripping head termination for direct PCB soldering or custom antenna element attachment.
  • RG1.13 coaxial construction provides effective RF shielding and low-loss transmission.
  • Flexible cable jacket allows for easy routing in tight spaces within electronic enclosures.
  • Designed for reliable performance across common wireless communication bands (e.g., 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 868/915MHz).
  • Durable build ensures long-term reliability in maker, IoT, and telecom applications.

Applications

  • Extending antenna ports on Wi-Fi routers, access points, or cellular gateways.
  • Connecting GPS/GNSS modules or LoRa transceivers to external, high-gain antennas.
  • Repairing or modifying PCB antenna traces on wireless development boards.
  • Building custom dipole or monopole antennas for specific frequency bands.
  • Providing a test interface for RF signal analysis and VSWR measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I solder the stripping head end of this cable to my PCB?

Strip back the outer jacket to expose approximately 3-5mm of the braided shield. Twist the shield into a single conductor. Tin the exposed central pin and the braid separately. Solder the central pin to your PCB's RF signal pad and the braid to the ground plane. Use minimal heat to avoid melting the dielectric. Ensure no short circuits exist between the center conductor and the shield after soldering for optimal VSWR.

What is the maximum frequency range this RG1.13 cable supports?

While exact specifications depend on the manufacturer, RG1.13 coaxial cable is typically rated for effective operation up to several Gigahertz. It is commonly used for 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, 868/915MHz LoRa, and GPS L1 bands (1.575GHz). For optimal performance above 3GHz, verify the cable's attenuation per meter rating. The SMA connector itself is rated for use up to 18 GHz, but the cable becomes the limiting factor at higher frequencies.

Can I use this cable to connect an external antenna to my ESP32 dev board?

Yes, if your ESP32 development board has a male SMA antenna port. The SMA female connector on this cable will screw directly onto that port. The stripping head end can be soldered to a custom antenna or left disconnected if you are simply extending the port. Ensure your board's RF circuit is designed for a 50-ohm impedance to match the cable. For boards with IPEX/u.FL connectors, you would need an IPEX-to-SMA pigtail instead.
