seeking pigtail cables U.FL - SMA Plug 12-18in

[stevech]

coax (for 2.4GHz) pigtail cables U.FL - SMA Plug 12-18 in.
SMA is standard SMA, *not* RP (reverse polarity)

Need several. Cannot find these on the internet websites for L-comm and other distributors.

http://www.l-com.com/ProductConfigurator.aspx have to have them custom made it seems.

yeah, I've bought a lot of antennas, cables from L-Comm.
Looking for ready-made, just need 6 or so.
I called them a couple of days ago... their custom cable on-line configurator doesn't offer U.FL with SMA plug (non-RP) as choice.

Looks to me like they make them...

that pix is an SMA female (non-RP).
What I need is U.FL to SMA plug (male), non-RP, 12-18in.

Sorry, I must have skipped over the plug lingo standing for male SMA, I didn't know. So why not make your own, or use an U.FL cable and an U.FL to SMA Plug adapter? Couldn't you also use that cable with the female SMA plus an SMA male to SMA male patch cable? Longest pre-made cables found are just 10", wonder if dB loss is too great to warrant anything longer.

I could hack something with adapters, etc. But more connectors = more losses and more chance for failure.
I never DIY on 2.4GHz cables - too much chance for failure in use.

These cables go in an outdoor unit used in northern climates - brrr.
Runs unattended, M2M app, just has to work.

I'll go with these guys and get an SMA male to female, 6 in. or so, as an extension. Or get some custom cables made.

HI,let us talk it more details

SMA plug connector with the pin in the center,see this pic:

SMA Jack connector with scoket pin in the center:

RP SMA Plug connector ,which outlook is the same as SMA plug ,but its scoket pin in the center:

RP SMA Jack ,which outlook is the same as SMA Jack ,but its pin in the center:

Of course more length of coax cable ,more loss .

HI,let us talk it more details

Of course more length of coax cable ,more loss .

Thinner coax has more loss as well...

just sayin... good advice though
