Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RFC195 Cable
RFC-195 is a budget-friendly 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.195" outer diameter that provides good performance for short-to-medium runs at a lower price than LMR-195. Suitable for antenna jumpers, two-way radio leads, and WiFi access point connections up to 30 feet where cost efficiency is the primary consideration.
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.
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.
Common Applications
This BNC and SMA cable assembly is well suited for short-to-medium antenna jumpers and budget wireless installations. The combination of reliable BNC and 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RFC195 coaxial cable used for?
RFC-195 is a budget-friendly 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.195" outer diameter that provides good performance for short-to-medium runs at a lower price than LMR-195. Suitable for antenna jumpers, two-way radio leads, and WiFi access point connections up to 30 feet where cost efficiency is the primary consideration.
What is the signal loss of RFC195?
At 1800 MHz, RFC195 has approximately 15.1 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.151 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 4 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.
