Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RG405 Cable
RG-405 (UT-085) is a 0.086" semi-rigid coaxial cable — smaller than RG-402 — with a solid copper outer conductor delivering superior shielding and phase stability. Commonly used in microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) assemblies, millimeter-wave test setups, and anywhere an extremely compact rigid interconnect is required up to 65 GHz.
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.
RP-SMA Connector
RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) uses the SMA threaded coupling mechanism but with the male/female pin convention reversed — the jack has a pin and the plug has a socket. Originally standardized to prevent connection of uncertified antennas to consumer WiFi equipment, RP-SMA is now the dominant connector on commercial WiFi routers, access points, and 2.4/5 GHz antennas.
Common Applications
This MCX and RP-SMA cable assembly is well suited for compact microwave and millimeter-wave assemblies and MMIC interconnects. The combination of reliable MCX and RP-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.
