Coaxial pigtail, RG-178, 25cm, U.FL male to RP-SMA female

Coaxial Pigtail | RG-178, 25cm, U.FL to RP-SMA socket

SKU: ART5206
GTIN: 4251028601250
HAN: CP-UFL-RPSMA
Category: WiFi Antenna Cables

The bridge from board to antenna. This high-quality coaxial pigtail connects internal radio modules (with U.FL / IPEX connector) to external Wi-Fi antennas (RP-SMA). With a length of 25 cm, it offers enough flexibility for clean routing inside PC cases, routers, or industrial boxes. The cable is made of robust RG-178, providing better shielding and durability than standard wires. The RP-SMA jack is designed as a "bulkhead": Thanks to the included nut and washer, you can screw it firmly into a chassis wall. Perfect for modifications, repairs, or DIY projects in the 0 to 6 GHz frequency range (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee).

Highlights

U.FL (Hirose): The standard plug for Mini-PCIe & M.2 Wi-Fi cards.
RP-SMA Jack: Fits almost all standard Wi-Fi antennas.
Panel Mount: Incl. nut & washer for mounting on chassis walls.
RG-178 Cable: Higher quality and more robust than 1.13mm standard cable.
25 cm Length: Optimal for desktops, routers, or control cabinets.
Up to 6 GHz: Suitable for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

The Pigtail for Pro Makers and Industry

Building your own router? Want to equip your Raspberry Pi with an external antenna? Or does your industrial PC have poor reception inside its metal case?
Then you need this cable. It brings the high-frequency signal from the board to the outside.

Connector Basics: What is What?

The biggest problem with pigtails is mixing up connectors. * Side A (PCB): The U.FL (or IPEX) plug is tiny (approx. 3mm diameter) and "clicks" onto the board. * Side B (Antenna): The RP-SMA Jack has an external thread and a hole in the center (no pin!). This is the standard for Wi-Fi.
(Note: Do not confuse with SMA, which is used in cellular/LTE and has a pin).

Quality Makes the Difference: RG-178

Many cheap pigtails use extremely thin 1.13mm cables. These kink easily and have high attenuation.
We use RG-178 here. The cable has a brown, transparent jacket, is thermally more resilient, and mechanically much more stable. At 25cm length, you get less signal loss and a longer lifespan, even if it gets tight and warm inside the case.

Mounting

Thanks to the long thread on the RP-SMA jack, the lock washer, and the nut, you can install this cable perfectly into chassis walls, slot brackets, or front panels. Simply drill a hole (approx. 6.5mm), push it through, screw it tight – done.
