Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RG142 Cable
RG-142 is a double-shielded 50-ohm PTFE coaxial cable rated for operation from cryogenic temperatures up to +200°C with a 0.195" outer diameter. Its dual-shield construction provides excellent EMI rejection while the PTFE dielectric ensures stable electrical performance across a wide frequency range. The preferred choice for military, aerospace, and high-power RF applications.
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.
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 F and RP-SMA cable assembly is well suited for high-temperature and high-power military or aerospace RF assemblies. The combination of reliable F 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.
