RF coaxial pigtail cable MaxLink 08-SF-SM-05 5 m SMA female to SMA male

The MaxLink RF coaxial pigtail cable 08-SF-SM-05 is a 5 meter SMA female to SMA male cable designed for RF signal connections between devices with SMA interfaces. Its construction provides consistent impedance and shielding to maintain signal integrity over the 5 m length. The cable is suited for linking external antennas, modems, routers and laboratory or field test equipment where an SMA-to-SMA connection and flexible routing are required.

Advantages

The cable combines an SMA female connector on one end and an SMA male connector on the other, enabling straightforward connection between devices and antenna leads without adapter chains. The 5 m length offers extended reach while retaining flexibility for routing in confined spaces. Shielding and characteristic impedance control reduce signal loss and interference for reliable RF performance. Durable connector housings and strain relief improve mechanical stability and help prevent damage during repeated installation.

Suitable for

• Antenna extension and relocation
• Connecting routers, modems and cellular gateways to external antennas
• Interfacing test equipment and measurement setups with SMA ports
• Temporary or permanent RF link installations in lab and field environments

Key specifications

• Connector types: SMA female to SMA male
• Cable length: 5 meters
• Cable type: RG-style coaxial designed for RF applications
• Impedance: 50 ohm nominal
• Frequency range: suitable for typical cellular, Wi‑Fi and RF test bands (dependent on system requirements)
• Construction: shielded coaxial with molded connector housings and strain relief

How to use

Align the SMA male and female connectors and engage by hand until snug; avoid excessive torque to prevent connector damage. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid tight loops that can increase insertion loss; maintain gentle curvature consistent with the cable’s bend radius. When connecting to antennas or equipment, ensure connectors are clean and free from debris to preserve contact quality. For permanent installations, secure the cable at intervals to prevent stress on connectors and to maintain consistent signal performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within its intended frequency and environmental ranges and avoid exposure to prolonged moisture or mechanical strain. If higher frequency performance or lower loss is required, verify compatibility with system specifications and consider shorter runs or higher-specification cable types.
