Specs Summary
About This Assembly
1.37 Cable
1.37mm coaxial cable is a miniature 50-ohm cable slightly larger than 1.13mm, balancing compact size with improved power handling and lower signal loss. Used for internal antenna leads in smartphones, routers, and IoT devices where the 1.13mm cable would be too lossy but space constraints still prohibit larger coax.
BNC Connector
BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) is a quick-connect RF connector featuring a bayonet locking mechanism for fast mating and unmating, rated from DC to 4 GHz. Its ease of use makes it standard in test and measurement equipment, video distribution, two-way radio accessories, and laboratory bench setups where cables are frequently connected and disconnected.
F Connector
The F connector is a low-cost threaded coaxial connector used almost exclusively in cable TV, satellite, and over-the-air broadcast applications. It uses the center conductor of RG-6 or RG-59 cable as the pin, which simplifies termination and reduces cost. F connectors are found on cable modems, satellite receivers, TV tuners, and distribution amplifiers.
Common Applications
This BNC and F cable assembly is well suited for internal antenna leads in routers, smartphones, and compact IoT devices. The combination of reliable BNC and F 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 1.37 coaxial cable used for?
1.37mm coaxial cable is a miniature 50-ohm cable slightly larger than 1.13mm, balancing compact size with improved power handling and lower signal loss. Used for internal antenna leads in smartphones, routers, and IoT devices where the 1.13mm cable would be too lossy but space constraints still prohibit larger coax.
What is the signal loss of 1.37?
At 1800 MHz, 1.37 has approximately 35 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.35 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 2 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a BNC connector?
BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) is a quick-connect RF connector featuring a bayonet locking mechanism for fast mating and unmating, rated from DC to 4 GHz. Its ease of use makes it standard in test and measurement equipment, video distribution, two-way radio accessories, and laboratory bench setups where cables are frequently connected and disconnected.
