RG178 50cm IPEX 1 to RP-SMA Female RF Cable

Description

This 50cm RF pigtail cable is engineered for seamless integration between compact wireless modules and standard antenna ports. The cable utilizes RG178 coaxial construction, a 50-ohm impedance-matched design that minimizes signal attenuation and VSWR, ensuring stable power transfer for critical 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth links. The IPEX 1 (MHF1) connector is the industry-standard interface for onboard module antenna pads, while the reverse-polarity SMA female end connects to a vast ecosystem of external antennas.

With a slim 11mm connector length and flexible cable body, this assembly is built for reliability in space-constrained applications such as Raspberry Pi HATs, ESP32 development boards, cellular modems, and industrial sensor gateways. It provides a robust mechanical and electrical bridge, eliminating the need for direct soldering and enabling quick antenna swaps or field upgrades.
