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.
N Connector
Type N is a threaded RF connector rated from DC to 18 GHz with a durable weatherproof design, making it the preferred interface for outdoor antenna installations, cellular base stations, and commercial wireless infrastructure. Its larger size compared to SMA allows higher power handling and the threaded coupling resists vibration, making it suitable for mobile and fixed outdoor applications.
RP-TNC Connector
RP-TNC (Reverse Polarity TNC) uses the TNC threaded shell with reversed pin conventions, similar to RP-SMA. It is used on some commercial WiFi access points and outdoor CPE antennas, particularly in older Cisco and Linksys equipment, and offers better vibration resistance than RP-SMA in demanding outdoor environments.
Common Applications
This N and RP-TNC cable assembly is well suited for internal antenna leads in routers, smartphones, and compact IoT devices. The combination of reliable N and RP-TNC 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 – 6 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a N connector?
Type N is a threaded RF connector rated from DC to 18 GHz with a durable weatherproof design, making it the preferred interface for outdoor antenna installations, cellular base stations, and commercial wireless infrastructure. Its larger size compared to SMA allows higher power handling and the threaded coupling resists vibration, making it suitable for mobile and fixed outdoor applications.
