Specs Summary
About This Assembly
1.13 Cable
1.13mm coaxial cable is an ultra-miniature 50-ohm cable used primarily for internal RF wiring in compact wireless devices such as laptops, tablets, and embedded modules. Its extremely small 1.13mm outer diameter allows it to pass through tight spaces inside consumer electronics, connecting antennas to WiFi or cellular modules with minimal signal loss over short distances.
SMA Connector
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
UHF Connector
The UHF connector (also known as PL-259 male / SO-239 female) is a large, low-cost RF connector designed in the 1930s for HF and VHF frequencies. Despite its name, its practical usable range is below 300 MHz due to its non-constant impedance design. It remains extremely popular in amateur radio (HF through VHF), CB radio, and marine radio applications.
Common Applications
This SMA and UHF cable assembly is well suited for internal WiFi and cellular module antenna connections in laptops and tablets. The combination of reliable SMA and UHF connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1.13 coaxial cable used for?
1.13mm coaxial cable is an ultra-miniature 50-ohm cable used primarily for internal RF wiring in compact wireless devices such as laptops, tablets, and embedded modules. Its extremely small 1.13mm outer diameter allows it to pass through tight spaces inside consumer electronics, connecting antennas to WiFi or cellular modules with minimal signal loss over short distances.
What is the signal loss of 1.13?
At 1800 MHz, 1.13 has approximately 38 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.38 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 300 MHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a SMA connector?
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
