SMA Female to IPEX1 RF Cable RG1.13 5cm

Description

This SMA Female to IPEX1 RF pigtail cable is an essential RF interconnect for developers and integrators working with modern wireless modules. It bridges the gap between the compact, board-mounted IPEX1 (u.FL) connectors found on space-constrained cellular, GNSS, and Wi-Fi modules and the standard SMA female interfaces used by most external antennas. The cable utilizes RG1.13 coaxial construction, offering a balance of flexibility and signal integrity for frequencies from DC up to 6GHz.

The 13mm threaded SMA female connector is designed for secure panel mounting, providing a stable mechanical and electrical connection to an SMA male antenna. This setup is critical for maintaining impedance matching (typically 50 ohms) and minimizing VSWR, which directly impacts RF performance and range. By using this adapter, you can easily evaluate different antenna gains and positions or integrate a device into a final enclosure without permanent modification to the RF module itself.
