Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RG178 Cable
RG-178 is an extremely thin 50-ohm coaxial cable measuring just 1.75mm in diameter, designed for space-constrained RF assemblies. Its PTFE dielectric and silver-plated conductors deliver reliable performance from DC up to several GHz. Commonly used for internal wiring in test equipment, medical devices, and cellular module pigtails.
FME Connector
FME (For Mobile Equipment) is a miniature threaded RF connector designed for mobile and vehicle-mounted antenna applications, particularly at GSM, CDMA, and FM frequencies. Its small size and robust threaded coupling make it common on vehicle-mount antenna mounts, cellular signal boosters, and mobile broadband modems.
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.
Common Applications
This FME and MCX cable assembly is well suited for ultra-compact internal wiring in test equipment and small wireless modules. The combination of reliable FME and MCX 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.
