About This Assembly
Specs Summary
RG316 Cable
RG-316 is a lightweight, flexible 50-ohm PTFE coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter, combining good high-frequency performance with excellent flexibility. Silver-plated copper conductors and PTFE dielectric allow reliable operation from DC to 3 GHz and beyond. Widely used in instrumentation, test equipment, and antenna pigtails where flexibility and moderate power handling are needed.
MMCX Connector
MMCX (Micro-Miniature Coaxial) is one of the smallest RF connectors in common use, featuring a snap-lock mechanism rated to 6 GHz. Its tiny size makes it essential for embedded WiFi and Bluetooth modules, wearable devices, hearing aids, and any RF assembly where board space is extremely constrained. It is the standard interface on most M.2 WiFi cards.
QMA Connector
QMA is a quick-mate RF connector that provides the electrical performance of Type N up to 18 GHz with a faster quarter-turn locking mechanism instead of full threading. It is widely deployed in cellular base station cabinets, DAS installations, and equipment racks where rapid cable changes are required without sacrificing electrical performance.
Common Applications
This MMCX and QMA cable assembly is well suited for instrumentation leads, test equipment interconnects, and flexible antenna pigtails. The combination of reliable MMCX and QMA 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 RG316 coaxial cable used for?
RG-316 is a lightweight, flexible 50-ohm PTFE coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter, combining good high-frequency performance with excellent flexibility. Silver-plated copper conductors and PTFE dielectric allow reliable operation from DC to 3 GHz and beyond. Widely used in instrumentation, test equipment, and antenna pigtails where flexibility and moderate power handling are needed.
What is the signal loss of RG316?
At 1800 MHz, RG316 has approximately 27 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.27 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 6 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a MMCX connector?
MMCX (Micro-Miniature Coaxial) is one of the smallest RF connectors in common use, featuring a snap-lock mechanism rated to 6 GHz. Its tiny size makes it essential for embedded WiFi and Bluetooth modules, wearable devices, hearing aids, and any RF assembly where board space is extremely constrained.
