About This Assembly
Specs Summary
LMR195 Times Cable
LMR-195 is a Times Microwave 50-ohm flexible coaxial cable with a 0.195" outer diameter and very low loss compared to RG-58. Its aluminized tape plus tinned copper braid shield provides excellent 40 dB shielding, making it suitable for runs from 10 to 50 feet in WiFi, cellular, and two-way radio installations.
MCX Connector
MCX (Micro Coaxial) is a snap-on RF connector approximately 30% smaller than SMB, designed for compact equipment requiring frequent connections in a small footprint. Rated to 6 GHz, MCX is commonly used in GPS receivers, automotive telematics modules, handheld communication devices, and compact measurement instruments.
RP-SMA Connector
RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) uses the SMA threaded coupling mechanism but with the male/female pin convention reversed — the jack has a pin and the plug has a socket. Originally standardized to prevent connection of uncertified antennas to consumer WiFi equipment, RP-SMA is now the dominant connector on commercial WiFi routers, access points, and 2.4/5 GHz antennas.
Common Applications
This MCX and RP-SMA cable assembly is well suited for WiFi antenna pigtails, cellular signal boosters, and two-way radio connections. The combination of reliable MCX and RP-SMA 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.
