• 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 Bard (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.
• All of our cables with SMA and RP-SMA female connectors have bulkhead mount hardware.
• The length of our standard SMA-female connector (threaded part) is 3/8 inches. We have a longer option: 14.5mm, which is available as an option. The longer 14.5mm option has an O-ring embedded in the flange to waterproof the port where the cable enters a network enclosure. 

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

• SMA gender is counter-intuitive: Please observe picture & note it is correct.  
• The gender is referring to the pins inside--not the threads. SMA male has threads on inside.
• More details regarding SMA gender determination.

• Connector Body: Gold Plated Brass
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE
• Precision machined for low loss in ISO 9001 facilities

• SMA female connector is also called "jack" and SMA-male is also called "plug."
• We offer an SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with SMA or RP-SMA connector(s).
• SMA-female connector fits items that have an SMA-male connector.
• 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.

Compatibility with wireless standards & 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:  Data and voice applications
• IoT wireless, automation & Machine to Machine (M2M):  Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, LTE-m, NB-IoT.

Our SMA extension cables' range of frequency band compatibility (from 0GHz to 18GHz),  consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm cables, makes them compatible and compliant for all the above applications.

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