How to Choose
When selecting a sensor cable, consider the required connector types, impedance, and cable length. This product features SMA Male to SMA Female connectors and a 50 Ohm impedance. Ensure these match your existing equipment. For applications requiring different connectors, such as M12 electrical connectors, a different cable assembly would be necessary. An M12 connector is a circular electrical connector with a 12 mm locking thread, commonly used in industrial automation. Choosing the wrong cable can lead to signal degradation or incompatibility.
Grit / Spec Guide
This Sensor Cable is an RG58 Coaxial type, designed for low loss performance. It has a 50 Ohm impedance and features SMA Male to SMA Female connectors. Compliance is to EU standards. It is important to match these specifications with your application requirements for optimal performance. There are no grit specifications as this is an electrical cable, not an abrasive product. The cable does not have a battery or wireless functionality.
Care & Safety
Handle the Sensor Cable with care to avoid kinking or damaging the coaxial cable, which can impact signal integrity and lead to increased loss. Ensure connectors are properly seated and tightened to maintain a secure connection. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures or harsh environments unless it is specifically rated for such conditions. Always ensure that the cable is suitable for the voltage and current of your application to prevent electrical hazards.

Q: What's the impedance of this cable and what are the connectors? A: This is an RG58 coaxial cable with a 50 Ohm impedance, which is standard for most Wi-Fi and RF applications. It has a male SMA connector on one end and a female SMA connector on the other.. Q: What are the connectors made of? I'm concerned about corrosion. A: The SMA connectors are gold-plated to resist corrosion and ensure a good electrical connection over time. The cable itself has a copper conductor and braided shielding to protect the signal from interference.. Q: Can I use this as a sensor cable to extend the antenna on my cellular modem? A: Yes, this is a common use for it. This pigtail works well as an extension sensor cable for moving a 4G LTE, GPS, or Wi-Fi antenna to a spot with a better signal.. Q: What happens if the cable is defective when I receive it? A: We offer a one-year warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. If you run into any issues with the cable's construction, just get in touch with us for a replacement.. Q: Why is this more expensive than some other SMA extension cables? A: This cable uses RG58 coax, which is thicker and has lower signal loss than the thinner RG174 or RG316 types. You're getting better signal integrity, which is especially important for longer cable runs or weak signal areas..
