RF Cables – The Key to Wireless Communication

RF cables are key components in radio transmission systems, enabling the transfer of high-frequency signals between devices, such as antennas and modems or routers. They utilize various types of connectors (SMA, IPEX, BNC) and cables with specific attenuation and shielding parameters, tailored to the requirements of wireless networks, telecommunications, and IoT applications.

Cables Based on SMA (SubMiniature version A) Configuration

SMA-terminated cables are widely used in high-frequency applications, including Wi-Fi devices, antenna systems, and telemetry systems.
