1.37mm coaxial cable has similar signal loss as RG174 and RG178, but is thinner and more flexible: It has same size conductor as RG178 cable, but smaller overall diameter. It's flexibility helps the U.FL cable connectors stay attached, and makes it more suitable than RG174 or RG178 for the tight space of a small case or enclosure.
Physical characteristics of 1.37 coaxial cable
1.37 coaxial cable is a micro coax with diameter of 1.37mm and American Wire gauge of 30. Its structure is typical of coaxial cable with the following components:
●Inner conductor made from silver coated copper with a diameter of 0.32mm.
●A clear fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) dielectric of 0.30mm thickness which provides electrical insulation as well as thermal and chemical resistance.
●A single shielding layer of 16/6 braided tinned copper wire with 96.4% coverage.
●A resilient opaque FEP jacket of 0.13mm thickness.
Electrical properties of 1.37 coaxial cable
1.37 coaxial cable has an impedance of 50 Ohms which is critical for its many applications. Other features of its electrical profile are:
●Conductor resistance of 335 Ohms for every kilometer of length.
●VSWR of 1.3 between 0 and 6 GHz
●Capacitance of 95.8pF/M
This cable has a minimum bend radius of 9mm, and performs. optimally at temperatures between -50 and 200 degrees Celsius (-58 and 392 degrees Fahrenheit).
Key applications of 1.37mm coaxial cable
This cable lends itself to a variety of applications particularly wireless networking as it can handle frequencies up to 6 GHZ. It can be used in set-ups for:
●Bluetooth
●Zigbee
●LTE
●WiFi
●GPS
The small form and flexibility of this coax cable lends itself to ultra-minature assemblies such as those of mini PCIs where it can be used for board to board connectivity. 1.37 works with UMCX connectors such as the Hirose UFL connector.

Key characteristics of GPS make it critical to a variety of mobile IoT solutions.Location of objects: GPS uses its proprietary constellation of military satellites to provide locating data for objects with a high degree of accuracy. This is done by a process called trilateration, which involves the target object or device communicating wirelessly with at [...]

Maximum Input Power is defined as: The maximum amount of power (voltage given in Watts) that is able to be transmitted to a single antenna without damage to the antenna port from overloading.Maximum Input Power is a key parameter commonly seen on antenna specifications and datasheets. It may be termed ‘power handling’ or designated as [...]
1.13mm coaxial cable is the most commonly-used coax for U.FL cables - especially short cables. 1.13 is the only coax that can be used with MHF4 cables. When connecting U.FL connector to a jack on a miniPCI card or board, sometimes the tight space requires the use of 1.13mm cable, because it is very thin and [...]
LMR-200 "Low loss cable" differs from RG58 and other coax standards by double shielding and less attenuation (signal loss in the cable) than the standard cables (e.g. RG58). LMR-200 is equivalent or better quality compared to LMR-200 (generally better because LMR-200 is double-shielded).Rated for outdoor use and are also suitable for indoor use. very flexible/easily bendable coaxThe [...]
Interference and Cable Shielding Shielding protects against both leakage and absorption of stray radiation of electrical noise by cables.Electrical "signal noise" interferes with the operation of antennas and antenna cables. Cables carrying high frequency charge naturally pose the risk of EMI transfer - both from shedding interference as well as accepting it. While insulation protects antenna cables from physical [...]
LMR-100 is a low loss, double-shielded coaxial cable type that is Data Alliance's standard for short versions of antenna cables with all of the following connector types: RP-SMA, SMA, N-type connector, RP-TNC, MMCX, 50 Ohm BNC connectors, and FME. LMR 100's range of frequency band compatibility (from 0 to 18GHz) and 50 Ohms impedance matching, makes it suitable and compliant for all the following applications:All WiFi [...]
Beamwidth is the angle from which the majority of the antenna’s power, as illustrated on the radiation pattern's main lobe, radiates. It may be measured in the horizontal or vertical planes and is the distance between two points where the power is less than half of the maximum.Beamwidth varies with the physical and electronic characteristics of [...]
