Cable is double-shielded, low-loss and very flexible/easily bendable coax with black jacket. The double-shielding is a major factor in the higher quality of this cable, which translates into lower loss/better performance.

We offer two options of thickness of cable (both are double-shielded):

1. The LMR-100-equivalent cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR100A: Has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR100A, and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174 and RG178. The higher quality of the cable of this antenna translates into lower loss/better performance. Cable is equivalent to LMR-100 in thickness.
2. 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.

RP-SMA female connector is also called "jack" and RP-SMA male is also called "plug."  

RP-SMA female connector includes a bulkhead nut and washer:

• You can use the bulkhead nut & washer to mount the connector (and thus the cable) on the wall of an enclosure (to weatherproof the cable connection), case or Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
• Weatherproofing: Seal the hole where the female connector is mounted, by placing an O-ring between the wall of the enclosure and the bulkhead nut & washer on the female connector.
• The length of our standard SMA-female connector (threaded part) is 3/8 inches (9.525mm). We have a longer option: 14.5mm, which we can use for special-order cable requests.
• All of our cables with SMA and RP-SMA female connectors have bulkhead mount hardware.

The length of our standard RP-SMA female connector (threaded part) is 3/8 inches. We have a longer option: 14.5mm, which we offer for the 4-foot version and for other lengths, we can offer for special orders (contact Customer Service).

RP-SMA female diameter:

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

 Lead-free and ROHS compliant: The entire product is ROHS compliant (connectors and cable).

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: This antenna cable is compliant for all types of wireless antennas, including wireless / WiFi networks, BlueTooth, ZigBee, Cellular voice & data, and WiMax: 802.11N, AC, G, A, B. 900MHz, 2.4GHz & 5GHz applications, as well as any other frequency between 0 and 18GHz.

RP-SMA Connector Composition: Our RP-SMA connectors are precision machined and gold-plated for low loss.

• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Connector Body: Brass, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE

GENDER DETERMINATION: Gender of RP-SMA is counter-intuitive in two ways: Please observe picture & note it is correct.

• More details regarding RP-SMA gender determination.
• The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. RP-SMA male has threads on inside.
• "RP" stands for reverse polarization: The pins are female when they appear to be male, and vice versa.
