Description

This RP-SMA female to stripping head cable is a fundamental RF accessory for engineers and integrators building or modifying wireless systems. The RP-SMA female connector mates with standard RP-SMA male ports commonly found on commercial Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and IoT gateway equipment, preventing connection with standard SMA antennas. The opposite end is terminated as a stripping head, presenting the coaxial cable’s center conductor and outer shielding braid for direct, permanent attachment.

Utilizing RG1.13 coaxial cable, it offers a balance of flexibility and moderate signal integrity over its 30cm length. The connector employs gold-plated brass for the body and beryllium copper for the center pin, ensuring optimal conductivity and durability. This cable is essential for creating custom antenna pigtails, extending internal antenna connections, or interfacing RF modules with external antenna ports where a pre-terminated solution is not available.

Key Features

  • Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) female connector for compatibility with many consumer wireless devices.
  • Stripping head design allows for custom soldering to PCB pads or antenna elements.
  • 30cm length of flexible RG1.13 coaxial cable for internal routing within enclosures.
  • Gold-plated brass connector body and center pin for excellent RF performance and durability.
  • PTFE insulator material provides stable dielectric properties across a wide frequency range.
  • Ideal for prototyping, repairs, or creating custom antenna cables for Wi-Fi, 4G, GPS, or LoRa systems.

Applications

  • Extending or replacing internal antenna cables in Wi-Fi routers and access points.
  • Creating custom pigtails for PCB-mounted antenna connectors (e.g., IPEX/u.FL to RP-SMA).
  • Repairing or modifying 4G LTE, GPS, or cellular modem antenna connections.
  • Prototyping and development of custom wireless IoT devices and gateways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an RP-SMA connector and what devices use it?

RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SubMiniature version A) is a connector standard where the gender of the center conductor is reversed compared to standard SMA. The RP-SMA female connector has a center pin, while the male has a sleeve. This design is commonly used on consumer Wi-Fi routers, access points, and some cellular gateways to prevent the use of standard high-gain SMA antennas, ensuring regulatory compliance for transmitted power.

How do I use the stripping head end of this cable?

The stripping head end has the coaxial cable's insulation removed, exposing the center conductor and the surrounding braided shield. To use it, you typically solder the center conductor to your PCB's antenna feed point or custom antenna element. The outer braid should be soldered to the ground plane of your PCB. Ensure a clean, short solder joint to maintain the cable's 50-ohm impedance and prevent signal degradation or VSWR issues.

What is the typical frequency range and use case for RG1.13 cable?

RG1.13 coaxial cable is a thin, flexible cable suitable for frequencies commonly used in Wi-Fi (2.4GHz, 5GHz), cellular (4G LTE bands), and GPS (~1.5GHz) applications. Its 30cm length makes it ideal for internal wiring within devices, such as connecting a mainboard's IPEX connector to an external RP-SMA antenna port on an enclosure. For longer runs or higher frequencies, a lower-loss cable like LMR200 or RG316 might be preferable.
