This product page focuses on the Delock Antenna Cable IEC Female to SMB Male RG-316 10 cm, which is compared with similar Delock connectivity solutions, including alternative antenna cable modifications featuring IEC and SMB connectors, as well as specialized BNC and TNC crimp connectors for RG-316 cables. All reviewed items belong to the radio frequency and communication components category; however, the cable assemblies represent ready-to-use fixed-length jumpers, whereas the alternative items are individual connectors intended for self-assembly. The main differences lie in connector types and genders, as well as functional purpose: pre-built cables provide instant connection of incompatible ports without soldering, while the connectors are designed for building or repairing cable runs.
⚙️ The specifications table below compares key technical characteristics of the products: product type, connector types and construction on both ends, compatibility with coaxial cable types, length, and practical application in radio frequency systems.

| Connector 1 | IEC female | IEC female | IEC male | IEC male | BNC (crimp type) | TNC (crimp type) | Variations in plug and socket configurations determine compatibility with specific device ports. |
| Connector 2 | SMB male | SMB female | SMB female | SMB male | Not applicable | Not applicable | The combination of IEC and SMB interfaces allows radio equipment to interface with various antenna socket types. |
◎ The table below evaluates the suitability of the products for various usage scenarios, connected equipment types, and buyer needs.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Connecting an antenna with an IEC female port to equipment with an SMB male port | Delock Antenna Cable IEC Female to SMB Male RG-316 10 cm | This cable features the exact connector configuration (IEC Female and SMB Male) required to interface such ports without extra adapters. |
| Connecting an IEC female port to an SMB female port | Delock Antenna Cable IEC Female to SMB Female RG-316 10 cm | Suitable if the matching device uses an SMB socket instead of a plug. |
| Connecting an IEC male plug to an SMB female port | Delock Antenna Cable IEC Male to SMB Female RG-316 10 cm 13033 | Provides the opposite IEC plug orientation for compatibility with a matching receptacle. |
| Connecting an IEC male plug to an SMB male plug | Delock Antenna Cable IEC Male to SMB Male RG-316 10 cm 13032 | Optimal for systems requiring plug termination at both ends of the connection line. |
| Building a cable run with a BNC interface | BNC Crimp Connector for RG-174 / RG-316 | Allows independent assembly of a reliable BNC standard connection on an existing RG-316 cable. |
| Repairing or extending TNC connections | Coaxial TNC crimp plug DELOCK for RG-174 / RG-316 | Designed for manual assembly of a TNC connector via crimping when servicing radio hardware. |
The Delock Antenna Cable IEC Female to SMB Male RG-316 10 cm differs from alternative pre-built assemblies and connectors through its specific interface combination (IEC Female and SMB Male) while maintaining consistently high RG-316 cable quality and a compact 10 cm length. It is best suited for users who need a ready factory solution for precise mating of IEC and SMB ports without soldering or assembling individual connectors. A buyer should prefer this option if their equipment requires specifically an IEC female and SMB male connection.
