Description

This RG316 coaxial pigtail cable serves as a critical RF interconnect for wireless systems, providing a reliable, low-loss transmission line between SMA-equipped devices and antennas. Its construction uses a silver-plated, Teflon-insulated RG316 core, a military-grade specification known for stable performance across a wide temperature range and resistance to environmental stress.

The cable’s 50-ohm impedance is standard for most wireless communication protocols, ensuring minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer. With a VSWR of ≤1.5 and a power handling capability of 2W, it is suitable for both low-power IoT sensor nodes and higher-power access points, making it a versatile component for system integrators and network installers.

Key Features

  • High-frequency, low-loss RG316 coaxial cable with Teflon insulation.
  • SMA male to female connector configuration for flexible port adaptation.
  • Broadband performance from DC to 6GHz, covering common IoT and WLAN bands.
  • Low VSWR (≤1.5) ensures efficient RF power transfer and minimal signal reflection.
  • 50-ohm impedance standard for compatibility with most wireless transceivers.
  • Ruggedized construction resistant to acid corrosion and high temperatures.
  • Compact 10cm length ideal for tidy cable management within enclosures.
  • 2W power handling suitable for a wide range of transmitter outputs.

Applications

  • Extending or relocating Wi-Fi antennas on routers, access points, and IoT gateways.
  • Connecting cellular (4G/LTE, 5G) or GPS/GNSS modules to external high-gain antennas.
  • Adapting antenna ports between SMA male and female interfaces on test equipment.
  • Providing a flexible RF link for signal boosters and RF amplifier systems.
  • Integrating into custom wireless sensor nodes using LoRa, Bluetooth, or sub-1GHz modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of this RG316 SMA pigtail cable?

This cable is used as a short, low-loss RF interconnect to extend or adapt antenna connections. It connects a device with an SMA female port (like a router or cellular module) to an antenna with an SMA male connector, or vice-versa, commonly for Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, GPS, or LoRa applications to improve signal routing and placement.

Is this cable compatible with 5G cellular and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) frequencies?

Yes, the specified frequency range of DC to 6GHz covers all common 5G sub-6GHz bands and Wi-Fi 6 frequencies (2.4GHz and 5GHz). Its low VSWR and 50-ohm impedance ensure efficient signal transmission for these high-speed wireless protocols, making it suitable for modern networking and IoT gateway setups.

How do I ensure a proper connection and avoid signal loss?

Ensure both SMA connectors are firmly hand-tightened to avoid cross-threading. Keep the cable bend radius gentle to prevent damaging the inner conductor. Route the cable away from sources of strong EMI, like power supplies or motor drivers, and use it within its specified power (2W) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C) limits for optimal, long-term performance.
