Coaxial cable Rangeful HF400-NM-SM-10 10 m SMA male to N male, flexible HF400

Rangeful HF400-NM-SM-10 is a 10 m flexible HF400 coaxial cable with an SMA male connector on one end and an N male connector on the other. Intended for RF signal transmission, this cable is suitable for antenna connections, measurement setups and interconnection of RF equipment where a low-loss, flexible coaxial link is required. The 10 metre length offers reach for rack-to-antenna cabling or lab bench arrangements while maintaining easy connector mating for both professional and hobby applications.

Advantages

The cable combines a flexible HF400 construction with industry-standard SMA male and N male connectors to balance low insertion loss and mechanical pliability. Its flexibility simplifies routing in confined spaces and around equipment racks, while the N male connector provides reliable connection to base stations and larger RF devices and the SMA male fits test equipment and small antennas. The overall design reduces signal degradation compared with thinner coax types at frequencies where HF400 is appropriate.

Suitable for

• Antenna to transceiver connections
• Lab and test bench RF measurement setups
• Interconnecting RF modules, amplifiers and filters
• Temporary and semi-permanent installations requiring a flexible low-loss link

Key specifications

• Cable type: HF400 flexible coaxial
• Length: 10 m
• Connector 1: SMA male
• Connector 2: N male
• Characteristic impedance: 50 ohm
• Application: RF signal transmission, antenna and test connections

How to use

Ensure both mating connectors on the connected equipment are clean and free of debris before making the connection. Align the SMA male with the SMA female and tighten by hand, then use a torque tool if a specified torque is required by equipment manufacturers to avoid over-tightening. For the N male end, align and rotate the nut until hand-tight, then apply the recommended torque if specified. Route the cable without sharp bends; maintain bend radii consistent with HF400 flexible cable recommendations to avoid damage to the dielectric and outer conductor. When used in test setups, keep the cable length and routing consistent between measurements to minimise variability.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and avoid crushing or kinking. For outdoor or permanent installations, protect connector interfaces from moisture and corrosion using appropriate weatherproofing boots or sealing methods. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and verify continuity and VSWR when high precision is required.
