N-female To RP-SMA male Cable: 2FT 6FT 9FT 12FT 15FT Outdoor / Indoor

RP-SMA-male To N-female Cable:

• One end has an RP-SMA (male) connector and the other end has an N-female connector with bulkhead and o-ring for weatherproofing.
• We also have this cable in 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch and 18-inch versions.
• See our N-female to RP-SMA cables and adapters.
• See our mounts for antennas and cables with N-female connectors.
• The length refers to the length of the cable between the connectors (not including the connectors).
• Allows interconnection of devices with RP-SMA female and N-male interfaces: Antennas, antenna cables and wireless devices.
• For coaxial extension (for better antenna positioning), coaxial interface conversion, coax retrofit applications
• Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of Type-N and RP-SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

Cable is double-shielded, low-loss and very flexible, with a black jacket.

• The cable-type for the 3-foot cable is equivalent or better than LMR100: Coax has the same or better 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.
• The cable-type for the 9-foot cable is LMR-200, which is double-shielded and has less attenuation (signal loss) than RG58.
• See comparison of signal loss of LMR-100 and LMR-200.
• Our antenna cables made from LMR-100 and LMR-200 are rated for outdoor use and are also suitable for indoor use.

The temperature range for operational use of these cable assemblies are as follows:

• Cables with 100-series coax: -22 F ~ +185 F (-30 C ~ +85 C)
• Cables with 200-series coax: -31 F ~ +203 F (-35 C ~ +95 C)

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

• All WiFi standards: 2.4GHz and 5GHz applications: 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11A
• Cellular Wireless LTE / 4G, GSM / 3G WiMAX, 5G: Data and voice applications
• IoT wireless, automation & Machine to Machine (M2M): Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, LTE-m, NB-IoT.
• Compatible with all Helium miners used in North America, including Bobcat miners, Sensecap miners and all other Helium LongFi miners, as are all of our antenna cables and adapters with RP-SMA-male connectors

N-female Connector Characteristics and Details: Durable, weatherproof connection

• The N-female-bulkhead connector has a rubber O-ring, which provides a water-tight seal when installing in an enclosure port.
• Nickel-plated brass body for enhanced corrosion resistance: Nickel plating is the most weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant metal plating.
• Our N connectors provide a consistent performance from 900MHz to 12.5 GHz.
• N-Female diameter is 0.620-inch (1.57 cm). N-male inside diameter is 0.620-inch (1.57 cm)
• N-connector gender is counter-intuitive:
• N-Type connectors are the largest of the RF connector types, and are usually found on large antennas, especially for outdoor use.
• Our N-Type connectors feature threaded coupling mechanisms and are fully interchangeable with N-Type connectors made to the MIL-C-39012 specification. These connectors are used in all systems where excellent RF and mechanical performance is critical.

N materials composition:

• Connector Body: Nickel-Plated Brass: The most corrosion-resistant of all plated brass alloys (better than gold-plated).
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE

RP-SMA Connector Characteristics and Details

• RP-SMA male and female diameter:
• RP-SMA male inside diameter is 5/16" (7.9375mm) (the inside diameter where the threads are).
• RP-SMA female outside diameter is 5/16" (7.9375mm): Accommodates a hex nut (bulkhead nut) with 5/16" nominal outer diameter

• RP-SMA Gender Determination: Key Points
  • RP-SMA gender is counter-intuitive: Please observe picture & note it is correct.
  • The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. RP-SMA male has threads on inside.
  • RP-SMA male has a socket inside rather than a pin, as you might expect, because the RP stands for "Reverse Polarity." The socket/pin configuration is female when it appears to be male, and vice versa.
  • More details regarding RP-SMA gender determination.

• RP-SMA-Connector Materials Composition:
• Connector Body:
  • All the cables on this page that are made with 400-series coax have connectors that are nickel-plated brass (on the connector body).
  • All the cables on this page that are made with 200-series coax have connectors that are gold plated brass (on the connector body).
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE
• Precision machined for low loss in ISO 9001 facilities

• Other RP-SMA Characteristics and Key Points
• RP-SMA-male is also called "plug" and SMA female connector is also called "jack"
• We offer an RP-SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with RP-SMA or SMA connector(s).
• RP-SMA-male connector fits items that have an SMA-female connector.
• RP-SMA is a round screw-type connector, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• RP-SMA connectors are not compatible with the common, commercially available Type F coaxial connector. Type F connectors look similar but are of slightly different size and will not pair with RP-SMA or SMA connectors without an adapter.

RoHS and REACH compliant: All of our antenna cables and adapters are compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH restrictions on heavy metals and other toxins.
