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.

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 FME and SMA cable assembly is well suited for flexible pigtails for compact modules and repeated-bend applications. The combination of reliable FME 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.
