The IPEX1 to SMA Female Connector Cable 11mm RG178 (available in various length) is a compact RF adapter cable designed to connect wireless communication modules with external antennas. It is commonly used in applications requiring reliable signal transmission, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, LoRa, Zigbee, and various IoT devices.
This cable features an IPEX1 (U.FL/IPX) connector on one end and an SMA Female bulkhead connector on the other. The IPEX1 connector is widely used on compact wireless modules where board space is limited, while the SMA Female connector allows easy attachment of standard SMA Male antennas. The bulkhead design also makes it suitable for mounting through an enclosure or equipment panel, providing a secure and professional installation.
Constructed with RG178 coaxial cable, this assembly offers excellent flexibility, durability, and dependable RF performance. RG178 is known for its small diameter, PTFE insulation, and resistance to heat and harsh operating environments, making it suitable for both industrial and embedded electronics applications.
With an overall cable length option from 5 cm to 48 cm, this cable is ideal for short internal connections where minimal signal loss and neat cable routing are important. The short length reduces attenuation while keeping the installation clean and organized inside compact electronic enclosures.
Whether you're building a prototype, upgrading an embedded wireless system, or integrating an external antenna into a custom enclosure, the IPEX1 to SMA Female Connector Cable 11mm RG178 provides a reliable, space-saving, and high-performance RF connectivity solution for a wide range of electronic applications.
