Coaxial Pigtail Cable MaxLink 08-SF-SM-02 — 2 m, SMA female to SMA male

Pigtail RF240 MaxLink 08-SF-SM-02 is a 2-meter coaxial cable with SMA female to SMA male connectors designed for reliable RF signal transmission. The cable provides flexible connectivity between devices with SMA ports and is intended as a short extension or adapter between antennas, routers, modems and test instruments. Its construction balances flexibility and shielding to maintain signal integrity over the stated length.

Advantages

The coaxial pigtail offers standardized SMA connectivity allowing quick mating with SMA male or female ports. A 2 m length gives freedom to position devices while keeping signal loss low for typical short-range RF applications. The cable's flexible jacket and strain-relieved ends reduce mechanical stress at connector joints, improving durability during repeated handling. Consistent impedance and shielding minimize interference and reflections in many wireless and test setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting external antennas to routers, modems and gateways with SMA ports
• Linking RF test equipment and measurement devices in labs or field checks
• Extending or adapting SMA antenna leads on IoT devices, repeaters and access points
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a short, flexible SMA extension

Key specifications

• Connector type: SMA female to SMA male
• Cable length: 2 m
• Cable construction: coaxial with RF-optimized dielectric
• Characteristic impedance: 50 ohm
• Typical application: RF signal transmission for antennas and test equipment
• Jacket: flexible, strain-relief at connectors

How to use

Align the SMA connectors before tightening by hand to avoid cross-threading; finger-tighten until seated and then apply a small additional quarter-turn with an appropriate torque wrench or nut driver if required by your equipment specifications. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with heavy abrasion; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve impedance and reduce signal degradation. When disconnecting, always hold the connector body rather than pulling the cable to protect the termination and internal shielding.

Usage recommendations

For best RF performance, keep the cable length as short as practical and avoid routing near high-power electrical devices or unshielded cables. Inspect connector threads and dielectric surfaces for debris before mating. If used in outdoor or exposed environments, consider additional environmental protection for connectors and secure strain relief to prevent mechanical fatigue.
