Connector FME/SMA Telegärtner J01703A0009 Metallic

The Telegärtner Connector FME/SMA Metallic is a compact RF adapter designed to join FME and SMA interfaces with a robust metallic construction. It provides a direct mechanical and electrical connection between FME-terminated cables and SMA devices, preserving signal integrity in telecommunications and broadcasting environments. The connector's durable metallic body and precision contact geometry help maintain reliable performance under repeated mating cycles and typical field conditions.

Advantages

The metallic construction ensures mechanical durability and resistance to wear, while the precision-machined contacts deliver stable RF performance and low insertion loss. The adapter enables straightforward adaptation between FME and SMA interfaces without requiring cable re-termination, reducing installation time. Its compact size supports use in confined spaces and rack-mounted equipment where reliable connectivity is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting FME-terminated antenna cables to SMA-equipped modems, routers, or radio equipment
• Field installations and service environments requiring quick interface adaptation
• Telecommunications, signal distribution, and broadcasting systems
• Laboratory setups and test benches for RF measurements

Key specifications

• Interface type: FME female to SMA male adaptation (mechanical mating)
• Material: metallic housing for mechanical strength
• Signal type: RF/Coaxial signal transmission suitable for typical mobile and broadcast frequencies
• Mechanical durability: designed for repeated mating cycles with stable contact performance
• Size: compact form factor suitable for confined installation spaces

How to use

Ensure both mating connectors on the cable and device are clean and free of debris. Screw the FME side onto the FME-terminated cable until hand-tight and then engage the SMA side with the SMA device by turning the threaded coupling until it is firmly seated; avoid overtightening. Confirm electrical continuity and check RF performance after installation. Periodically inspect the metal surfaces and contacts for corrosion or damage and clean with appropriate non-abrasive, electronics-safe cleaners if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use this FME/SMA adapter where a direct, mechanically secure adaptation is needed. Avoid exposure to corrosive environments without protective measures, and do not apply excessive torque when tightening to preserve connector integrity and maintain low insertion loss.
