Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RGU178 Cable
RGU-178 is an ultra-flexible variant of the RG-178 coaxial cable, retaining the 1.75mm form factor while featuring a stranded center conductor and flexible jacket for repeated bending. It excels in applications requiring both a small footprint and mechanical durability, such as wearable devices, rotating joints, and flexible test leads.
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.
UHF Connector
The UHF connector (also known as PL-259 male / SO-239 female) is a large, low-cost RF connector designed in the 1930s for HF and VHF frequencies. Despite its name, its practical usable range is below 300 MHz due to its non-constant impedance design. It remains extremely popular in amateur radio (HF through VHF), CB radio, and marine radio applications.
Common Applications
This FME and UHF cable assembly is well suited for flexible pigtails for compact modules and repeated-bend applications. The combination of reliable FME and UHF 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.
