About This Assembly
Specs Summary
RG174 Cable
RG-174 is an ultra-thin, highly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter — one of the smallest coax types available. Its stranded center conductor and single-braid shield make it ideal for tight internal wiring where space is at a premium. Typical uses include GPS antenna pigtails, WiFi module connections, and short adapter leads inside enclosures.
Mini UHF Connector
Mini UHF is a compact version of the UHF/PL-259 connector, approximately half the size of the standard UHF connector, designed for handheld radios and mobile antennas where space is limited. It maintains compatibility with UHF-band signal frequencies and is commonly used on handheld transceivers, mobile radio antennas, and compact base station equipment.
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 Mini UHF and SMA cable assembly is well suited for GPS and WiFi module pigtails, short flexible adapter leads, and internal device wiring. The combination of reliable Mini UHF 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 RG174 coaxial cable used for?
RG-174 is an ultra-thin, highly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter — one of the smallest coax types available. Its stranded center conductor and single-braid shield make it ideal for tight internal wiring where space is at a premium. Typical uses include GPS antenna pigtails, WiFi module connections, and short adapter leads inside enclosures.
What is the signal loss of RG174?
At 1800 MHz, RG174 has approximately 32 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.32 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 2.5 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a Mini UHF connector?
Mini UHF is a compact version of the UHF/PL-259 connector, approximately half the size of the standard UHF connector, designed for handheld radios and mobile antennas where space is limited. It maintains compatibility with UHF-band signal frequencies and is commonly used on handheld transceivers, mobile radio antennas, and compact base station equipment.
