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 comparable 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. The LMR-100 equivalent cable type is comparable to 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: It 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 to or better than LMR400: It has the same or better asignal loss per meter and flexibility as LMR400 and less attenuation.
• See a 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.) 

Do you have a specific version in mind for our RP-SMA Extension Cables? No problem. We offer complete flexibility to produce any length or version with the embedded o-ring or more extended threaded section of the RP-SMA-female connector. Contact our Customer Service to discuss your unique 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.

Our Nickel-Plated Connectors, with a diameter of 11 mm, provide the most corrosion-resistant protection for RF connectors. They offer [benefits]. 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 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.
• Our standard RP-SMA-female connector (threaded part) length is 3/8 inches. We have a more extended 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.
