Characteristic Description
Custom SMA/BNC Compatibility: Features BNC male-to-BNC male connectors with SMA adapters, supporting seamless integration with 5G base station antennas and wireless routers.
Broad Frequency Range: Operates from DC to 18GHz (high-performance variants up to 26.5GHz), covering 5G (3.5GHz), GPS (1.5GHz), and microwave bands.
50Ω Characteristic Impedance: Matches RF signal transmission standards, minimizing signal reflection and power loss (≤0.1dB/m at 10GHz).
Braided Metal Shielding: 95% tinned copper braid blocks EMI/RFI from nearby power lines, ensuring stable signal for wireless communication.
Flexible/Semi-Rigid Options: Flexible cables (PVC jacket) fit tight spaces in base stations; semi-rigid (PTFE jacket) offer stability for fixed antenna mounts.
Market Research
The global RF cable assembly market is expected to grow to $9.8B by 2029, driven by 5G rollouts. A 2024 report found 70% of telecom operators prioritize custom SMA/BNC adapters to match diverse antenna interfaces. Additionally, 5G base stations require cables with ≤0.2dB/m loss—our SMA cables meet this standard, reducing signal dropout rates by 35% compared to generic RF cables.
Performance Meets
Low Signal Attenuation: Loses only 0.1dB/m at 10GHz and 0.3dB/m at 18GHz, ensuring strong signal from antennas to base station receivers.
Mechanical Durability: SMA threaded connectors withstand 500+ mating cycles, while the braided shield resists 100N tensile force without damage.
Weather Resistance: PVC jacket is UV-resistant and IP65-rated, suitable for outdoor 5G base stations exposed to rain and sunlight.

FAQ
Why is 50Ω impedance standard for this RF cable?
50Ω balances power handling and signal loss—ideal for RF systems like 5G and GPS. Using non-50Ω cables would cause signal reflection and reduce communication range.
Can the cable be customized for outdoor use in extreme temperatures?
Yes. We offer a cold-resistant variant (-55°C to 125°C) with a silicone jacket, suitable for base stations in polar or desert regions.
How do I choose between flexible and semi-rigid cables?
Use flexible cables for moving parts (e.g., adjustable antennas) and semi-rigid cables for fixed mounts (e.g., rooftop base station antennas) to maintain position stability.
