RP-SMA female To SMA male Cable

Our RP-SMA female to SMA male cable is not your typical antenna or adapter cable. It's a One-of-a-kind solution that marries the convenience of an SMA Male connector with the adaptability of an RP-SMA female connector, all within a double-shielded cable.

  • The length refers to the cable length between the connectors (not including the connectors).
  • One end has an RP-SMA-female connector, and the other has an SMA-male connector with a bulkhead mount (bulkhead nut and washer).
  • See details regarding the RP-SMA female connector below Weatherproofing, mounting, and length options.
  • Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of RP-SMA and SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

Our Antenna Cable Coax is not just any cable. It's double-shielded, low-loss, and flexible, ensuring not just performance but also durability. The cable type is equivalent to or better than LMR-100: Coax with black jacket has the same signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR100 and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174. The higher quality of the cable of this antenna translates into lower loss/better performance. They are rated for outdoor use and are also suitable for indoor use. The recommended tightest bend radius is 1 inch (28mm), demonstrating flexibility and adaptability. Coax is double-shielded, low-loss, and very flexible.

RP-SMA female connector includes a bulkhead nut and washer:

  • This can be used to mount the connector (and thus the cable) on the wall of a network enclosure (to weatherproof the cable connection) or mount the connector on a case, panel, or Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
  • Weatherproofing: Seal the hole where the female connector is mounted by placing an O-ring between the enclosure's wall and the bulkhead nut and washer on the female connector.
  • All of our cables with female SMA and RP-SMA female connectors have bulkhead mount hardware.
  • The length of our standard RP-SMA-female connector (threaded part) is 3/8 inches. We have a longer option, 14.5mm, which is available. The longer 14.5mm option has an O-ring embedded in the flange to waterproof the port where the cable enters a network enclosure.
SMA & RP-SMA Gender Determination: Key Points:
  • SMA gender is counter-intuitive.  
  • The gender refers to the pins inside the threads. SMA male has threads on the inside of the connector body and has a pin inside the connector body
  • RP-SMA (reverse polarity) means that the pin and socket configuration is the opposite of what you would expect: RP-SMA female has a pin inside, and RP-SMA male has a socket inside.

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications: Our SMA to RP-SMA cables' range of frequency band compatibility (from 0GHz to 18GHz), consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm cables make them compatible, suitable, and compliant for all the following applications:

RoHS 3 and REACH compliant: Our antenna cables and RF adapters comply with RoHS 3 and REACH restrictions on lead content and other heavy metals and toxins.

The temperature range for operational use of this 100-series coax and the cable assembly is -22 F ~ +185 F (-30 C ~ +85 C)
