How to Choose
- SMA vs RP-SMA polarity
- Pigtail cable type: RG174/RG316/LMR200
- Frequency rating to 6 GHz
- Bulkhead and PCB variants
SMA and RP-SMA connectors attach antennas to WiFi radios, routers, GSM modems and IoT devices. The two look alike but do not mate — check polarity carefully.
SMA & RP-SMA Connector options available from Kuching ready stock.
Consumer WiFi gear usually uses RP-SMA; cellular modems usually use standard SMA. Check the centre pin: SMA male has a pin, RP-SMA male has a socket.
Yes — thin RG174 loses ~1 dB per metre at WiFi bands; keep pigtails short or use lower-loss cable.
