About This Assembly
Specs Summary
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.
SMC Connector
SMC (SubMiniature version C) is a threaded RF connector similar in size to SMB but with a screw coupling for a more secure connection, rated to 10 GHz. It is used in telecommunications infrastructure, GPS, and precision instrumentation where the vibration resistance of a threaded connector is needed in a compact form factor.
Misc Connector
This connector type includes specialized or application-specific RF connectors designed for particular equipment or industries. These may include 2.4mm, 2.92mm (K), 1.85mm (V), SMP, SSMP, or proprietary interface types used in precision microwave measurement, defense electronics, and specialized RF subsystems.
Common Applications
This Misc and SMC cable assembly is well suited for flexible pigtails for compact modules and repeated-bend applications. The combination of reliable Misc and SMC 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 RGU178 coaxial cable used for?
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.
What is the signal loss of RGU178?
At 1800 MHz, RGU178 has approximately 41 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.41 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 3 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a SMC connector?
SMC (SubMiniature version C) is a threaded RF connector similar in size to SMB but with a screw coupling for a more secure connection, rated to 10 GHz. It is used in telecommunications infrastructure, GPS, and precision instrumentation where the vibration resistance of a threaded connector is needed in a compact form factor.
