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.
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.
N Connector
Type N is a threaded RF connector rated from DC to 18 GHz with a durable weatherproof design, making it the preferred interface for outdoor antenna installations, cellular base stations, and commercial wireless infrastructure. Its larger size compared to SMA allows higher power handling and the threaded coupling resists vibration, making it suitable for mobile and fixed outdoor applications.
Common Applications
This MCX and N cable assembly is well suited for ultra-compact internal wiring in test equipment and small wireless modules. The combination of reliable MCX and N 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.
