IPEX1 to SMA Female RF Cable 30cm RG178

Description

This IPEX1 to SMA Female RF cable is a fundamental interconnect component for wireless system integration. It bridges the gap between the ultra-compact, board-mounted IPEX1 (often called u.FL) connectors found on modern IoT modules and the robust, panel-mountable SMA interface used by external antennas. The 30cm length of flexible RG178 coaxial cable provides sufficient reach for optimal antenna placement within a device enclosure or project box, reducing signal blockage and improving overall RF performance.

Constructed with precision-machined connectors and high-quality cable, this pigtail ensures minimal insertion loss and stable impedance matching (typically 50Ω), which is critical for maintaining the RF link budget of sensitive wireless systems. The SMA female end allows for a secure, threaded connection to a vast array of commercially available antennas, making it an indispensable tool for prototyping and final product assembly in applications ranging from cellular IoT gateways to high-precision GNSS receivers and long-range LoRa nodes.
