RP-SMA Extension Cable: 6.5FT, 8FT, 10FT. Male to Female Low Loss Shielding

RP-SMA Extension Cables: 6FT to 10FT

Antenna Cable: RP-SMA Male to RP-SMA female

• One end has an RP-SMA female connector, and the other has an RP-SMA male connector.
• The connectors are straight RP-SMA-male and straight RP-SMA female connectors with bulkheads.
• See other lengths of this RP-SMA extension cable.
• Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of RP-SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

Our cable is not just any cable. It's a double-shielded, low-loss, and flexible wonder. The black jacket adds a touch of sleekness. But what sets it apart is its double-shielding, a critical factor in its superior quality and performance. With this cable, you can be confident in experiencing lower loss and better performance.

We offer three thickness options for this cable. All are rated for outdoor use and suitable for indoor use as well:

• The LMR-100 equivalent cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR100: Has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR100, and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174 and RG178. The LMR-100 equivalent cable type is equivalent or better than LMR100: It has the same or better signal loss per meter and flexibility as LMR100 and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174 and RG178. This antenna's higher quality cable translates into lower loss/better performance. The cable is equivalent to LMR-100 in thickness. The recommended maximum bend radius is 1.1 inches (28mm).
• The LMR-200-equivalent cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR200: Has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR200, and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG58.
• The LMR-400-equivalent cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR400: Has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR400, and less attenuation.
• See comparison of LMR-100 and LMR-200 attenuation (signal loss).

The temperature range for the operational use of these cable assemblies is 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)
• Cables with 400-series coax: -31 F ~ +203 F (-35 C ~ +95 C)

SPECIAL VERSIONS:

• We have a 6.5-FT (2-meter) version with an O-ring embedded in the bulkhead/ flange of the RP-SMA-female connector. The part number for this is RSm2mRSf7. The coax of this one is LMR-100 equivalent. (To order this, contact Customer Service.)  
• Need a particular version of our RP-SMA Extension Cables? No problem. We can produce any length or version with the embedded o-ring or more extended threaded section of the RP-SMA-female connector. Simply contact our Customer Service to place your order.

NICKEL-PLATED CONNECTORS OPTION FOR CABLES MADE WITH LMR-400 COAX: A nickel-plated brass connector is available for the 8FT version with LMR-400 coax. Other lengths require a particular order.

• Our standard option is Gold-Plated Brass connectors, which have a diameter of 15mm and "flats" on two sides of the connector to help secure the connector in a port and keep it from turning.
• The Nickel-Plated Connectors have a diameter of 11mm
• Nickel-plated brass provides the most corrosion-resistant protection for RF connectors. On this page, you can read more about nickel-plated and gold-plated brass for corrosion/rust prevention.

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 wall and the bulkhead nut & washer on the female connector.
• 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

RP SMA Connector Characteristics, including dimensions, materials composition, and other key information

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications:

• All WiFi standards: 2.4GHz and 5GHz applications: Wi-Fi 6, WiFi 6E, 802.11AX, 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11A
• Cellular Wireless LTE / 4G, GSM / 3G WiMAX: Data and voice applications
• IoT wireless & 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

Our SMA to RP-SMA extension cables' range of frequency band compatibility (from 0 to 18GHz), consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm antennas and cables make them suitable and compliant for all the above 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 RP-SMA male-to-female extension cable is designed for your convenience, making installation a breeze. The RP-SMA male connector perfectly fits the jack on many WiFi routers, while the RP-SMA female connector is compatible with the male connector on antennas with an RP-SMA male connector. Most Wi-Fi antennas with an RP-SMA connector have a male connector. With this extension cable, you can easily position your antenna further from the router, ensuring the best line of sight.
