Description

This SMA female to IPEX1 connector cable is a fundamental RF interconnect designed for IoT and wireless communication systems. It solves the common integration challenge where compact devices use space-saving IPEX1 (u.FL) connectors, while external antennas typically terminate in standard SMA interfaces. The cable utilizes RG1.13 coaxial construction, balancing flexibility with controlled impedance for frequencies up to 6GHz.

The 13mm threaded SMA female connector is designed for secure panel mounting, providing a robust mechanical connection suitable for field deployments. The 10cm cable length offers sufficient slack for routing within enclosures while minimizing signal loss, making it an indispensable accessory for connecting 4G/5G modules, Wi-Fi SoCs, LoRa transceivers, or GPS receivers to their respective external antennas.

Key Features

  • Interface Conversion: Bridges standard SMA antenna ports to miniature IPEX1 (u.FL/MHF) connectors found on compact wireless modules.
  • Broadband Performance: Supports a wide frequency range from 0 to 6000MHz, covering 2G/3G/4G/5G cellular, Wi-Fi, LoRa, and GNSS bands.
  • Panel-Mount Design: Features a threaded SMA female connector for secure installation through device enclosures or chassis panels.
  • RG1.13 Coax: Utilizes a specific coaxial cable type (RG1.13) offering a balance of flexibility, durability, and controlled 50-ohm impedance.
  • Precision Length: 10cm cable provides optimal routing flexibility for internal device layouts while managing cable loss.

Applications

  • Connecting external SMA antennas to 4G LTE or 5G cellular modules (e.g., SIM7600, SIM8200) with IPEX1 ports.
  • Extending Wi-Fi/BLE SoC antenna connections (ESP32, ESP8266) to panel-mounted or external antennas.
  • Interfacing LoRa/LoRaWAN module nodes (RAK, E22) with high-gain SMA base station antennas.
  • Providing a GNSS/GPS receiver module with a connection path to an external active antenna for improved satellite lock.
  • General RF prototyping and testing where interface adaptation between SMA and IPEX is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use case for this SMA to IPEX1 cable?

This cable is primarily used to connect a wireless communication module with a miniature IPEX1 (also called u.FL or MHF) antenna port to a standard external antenna with an SMA connector. It is essential for 4G/5G cellular modems, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoCs like the ESP32, LoRa transceivers, and GPS modules that require an external antenna for improved range and signal reliability. The panel-mount SMA female end secures to your device's enclosure.

Is this cable compatible with both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands?

Yes, this RF pigtail cable supports a broad frequency range from 0 to 6000MHz (6GHz), which fully covers the 2.4GHz ISM band (2400-2483.5MHz) and the 5GHz UNII bands (5150-5850MHz) used for Wi-Fi. The RG1.13 coaxial cable is designed to maintain 50-ohm impedance across this spectrum, ensuring minimal signal reflection and loss for reliable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity in IoT applications and router designs.

How do I securely attach the SMA connector to my device panel?

The SMA female connector has a 13mm external thread. To install, drill a hole with the correct diameter for the connector's body in your device enclosure panel. Insert the connector from the inside, so the threaded portion protrudes outward. Then, screw your SMA male antenna (or a mating SMA jack) onto the external threads. This creates a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical connection ideal for mobile or industrial deployments.

Can I use this cable with LoRa modules operating at 868MHz or 915MHz?

Absolutely. The cable's specified 0-6000MHz range includes the common LoRa sub-GHz frequencies of 868MHz in Europe and 915MHz in North America. When connecting a LoRa module (like an RAK3172 or E22) with an IPEX1 port, this cable allows you to use a high-gain SMA LoRa antenna, potentially increasing communication range. Ensure your antenna is tuned to the correct LoRa frequency band for optimal performance.
