Description

This SMA Female to IPEX1 coaxial pigtail cable is a fundamental RF interconnect for wireless system integration. The RG1.13 coaxial core provides a balanced combination of flexibility and controlled 50-ohm impedance, ensuring minimal VSWR and signal loss over its 20cm length for frequencies commonly used in IoT bands.

The SMA Female connector features a standard threaded coupling nut for a secure, reliable connection to external antennas. The IPEX1 (also known as U.FL) connector is a miniature, push-on interface designed for direct soldering to PCB pads on compact Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and cellular modules, saving significant board space compared to bulkier connectors.

Key Features

  • Direct interface conversion between standard SMA and miniature IPEX1 (U.FL) connector formats.
  • RG1.13 coaxial cable offers a flexible, thin profile ideal for tight spaces inside enclosures or devices.
  • Maintains 50-ohm impedance matching for optimal RF power transfer and minimal signal reflection.
  • 20cm length provides routing flexibility to position an external antenna away from RF-interfering components.
  • Threaded SMA Female connector ensures a mechanically stable connection resistant to vibration and pull-out.
  • Essential for connecting aftermarket high-gain antennas to modules with onboard IPEX1 antenna pads.

Applications

  • Connecting external SMA antennas to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoC development boards (ESP32, ESP8266, nRF).
  • Retrofitting high-gain cellular or GPS antennas to 4G LTE and GNSS modules with IPEX1 pads.
  • Prototyping and final assembly in IoT sensor nodes, drones, and portable communication devices.
  • Extending antenna placement in routers, access points, and embedded wireless gateways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modules is this SMA to IPEX1 cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with any wireless module or development board featuring an IPEX1 (U.FL) antenna pad. This includes common Wi-Fi/Bluetooth SoCs like the ESP32 series, ESP8266, nRF52840, as well as cellular modules (SIM7000, SIM7600) and GNSS receivers (NEO-6M, NEO-8M). The SMA Female end connects to standard SMA male antenna connectors. Ensure your module's IPEX1 port is not occupied by an onboard ceramic antenna.

How do I properly connect the IPEX1 connector to my module?

The IPEX1 connector is a push-on, locking interface. Align the connector squarely over the module's IPEX1 port, ensuring the metal outer shield and center pin are aligned. Gently press down until you hear or feel a faint click, indicating it is seated and locked. To disconnect, use a small plastic tool to gently lift the metal locking clip on the connector's side before pulling straight up. Avoid pulling on the cable itself, as this can damage the solder joints on the module's PCB pad.

What is the frequency range and signal loss for this RG1.13 cable?

RG1.13 coaxial cable is typically rated for frequencies up to 6 GHz, covering all common IoT bands including 2.4GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, 868/915MHz LoRa, and cellular frequencies up to 4G LTE. Insertion loss is approximately 0.5 to 1.0 dB per meter at 2.4GHz, so the 20cm length introduces minimal loss (approx. 0.1-0.2 dB). For optimal performance, ensure the cable is not tightly bent (maintain a bend radius >10mm) and routed away from sources of electrical noise.
