Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RG316DS Cable
RG-316DS is a double-shielded version of RG-316, featuring two braid layers over the PTFE dielectric for superior EMI isolation. This construction reduces signal leakage and interference pickup, making it essential in sensitive receiver chains, spectrum analyzers, and high-density RF wiring where crosstalk must be minimized.
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.
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 F and SMA cable assembly is well suited for sensitive receiver chains, spectrum analyzer inputs, and high-EMI environments. The combination of reliable F 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.
