SMA Female To SMA-Female Adapter: Coupler Gender Changer

Adapter with SMA (female) connector on both ends and straight on both ends:

• Used as a coupler or gender-changer.
• This adapter has a flat part on one side, in between the two connectors.
• Allows interconnection of devices with SMA male interfaces: Antennas, antenna cables and wireless devices.
• For Coaxial extension, coaxial interface conversion, coax retrofit applications

Compatibility with wireless standards and 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 & M2M: Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, LTE-m, NB-IoT

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

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

SMA Connector Characteristics and Details

• SMA male and female diameter:
• 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 Determination: Key Point
  • 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.

• Other SMA Characteristics and Key Points
• SMA-male is also called "plug" and SMA female connector is also called "jack"
• 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.
• 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 SMA or RP-SMA connectors without an adapter.
