Coaxial connector cable with N male to SMA male terminations, 5 meters long, designed for RF signal connections between devices with N and SMA interfaces. This cable provides a direct link for antenna systems, test instruments, routers, radio transceivers and other equipment that require a secure, threaded connection. The construction focuses on preserving signal integrity over the 5 m length while allowing straightforward, screw-on installation at both ends.
Advantages
The cable combines an N male plug and an SMA male plug to enable compatibility between larger N-type devices and smaller SMA-equipped equipment. Its 5 m length offers flexibility in positioning antennas or test gear without using adapters that can introduce additional losses. Threaded metal connectors ensure a mechanically robust and low-reflection RF connection when properly mated, and the coaxial design shields against interference along the run.
Suitable for
- Connecting external antennas to radio transceivers or routers with mismatched connector types
- Extending coaxial leads between test equipment and devices during measurements
- Amateur radio setups where N and SMA interfaces need to be joined
- Telecommunications or wireless installations requiring a secure, threaded RF connection
Key specifications
- Cable length: 5 meters
- Connector A: N male (plug), threaded
- Connector B: SMA male (plug), threaded
- Type: Coaxial RF jumper cable
- Primary use: RF signal transmission between N and SMA interfaces
How to use
Ensure both device connectors are clean and free from debris before installation. Align the N male connector with the corresponding N female bulkhead or socket and engage the threads, tightening by hand until snug; use a torque wrench only if specified by the connected equipment. Align the SMA male connector with the SMA female jack and screw in until secure. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the connector threads or dielectric. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and keep it away from heavy mechanical strain, kinks or pinch points.
Usage recommendations
For best RF performance, keep connector interfaces dry and protected from corrosion, and avoid repeated unnecessary mating cycles. If the installation is outdoors or exposed to moisture, use appropriate weatherproofing at connection points and choose cable routing that reduces water accumulation. When precise impedance and loss values matter for measurements, verify cable performance with calibrated test equipment.
