Position your WLAN antenna more conveniently with an RP-SMA male to female extension cable. It extends the connection between an external antenna and compatible equipment, such as a WiFi router, access point or WLAN module with an RP-SMA connection.
The 1-metre length lets you move the antenna a short distance away from the equipment and adjust its position around furniture, shelves and other obstructions. It is a practical solution when the antenna is difficult to position or when you want to try another location without moving the networking equipment.
The cable uses RG174 coaxial construction, with 50 Ω impedance, a bare copper conductor and a black PVC jacket approximately 2.8 mm in diameter. Its slim profile makes routing easier where space is limited.
The straight, gold-plated RP-SMA connectors are pre-fitted and screw onto matching connections. The cable’s RP-SMA female connector attaches to the antenna’s RP-SMA male connector, while its RP-SMA male connector attaches to the equipment’s RP-SMA female port.
A convenient accessory for extending an existing RP-SMA antenna connection. Check the connector variant before purchasing and choose the antenna position carefully: performance depends on both placement and cable attenuation.
✅ Benefits
- Extends an RP-SMA antenna connection – provides more freedom to position the antenna.
- 1-metre cable length – practical for a short extension near the equipment.
- Slim RG174 cable – approximately 2.8 mm outer diameter for convenient routing.
- Pre-fitted connectors – no soldering or crimping required.
- Gold-plated contact surfaces – contribute to corrosion resistance.
- Threaded connections – provide secure mechanical attachment.
- 50 Ω impedance and copper conductor – for compatible antenna and RF systems.
🎯 Ideal for
- WLAN and WiFi antennas with RP-SMA male connectors.
- Routers and access points with RP-SMA female ports for detachable external antennas.
- Compatible wireless modules and RF installations.
- Installations where the antenna needs to be positioned a short distance from the equipment.
🔧 Connection and use
Connect the antenna’s RP-SMA male connector to the cable’s RP-SMA female connector. Then screw the cable’s RP-SMA male connector onto the equipment’s RP-SMA female port.
Check both the thread and centre contact. RP-SMA male has an internal thread and centre socket, while RP-SMA female has an external thread and centre pin.
Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid straining the connectors. Try different antenna positions and compare connection quality.
Cable attenuation increases with frequency and length. Check the cable’s frequency specifications against your installation requirements. Equipment with several separate antenna connections requires one extension cable per antenna feed.
