RPSMA ConnectorsFor Semi-Flexible And Semi-Rigid Cable Manufacturer

Product Overview
The RPSMA semi-flexible and semi-rigid cable connector provides a precision-machined RP-SMA termination for phase-stable cable assemblies in WLAN test setups, MIMO antenna array evaluation fixtures, and phased-array Wi-Fi system development platforms where the controlled electrical length and shielding integrity of semi-rigid cable must be preserved all the way to the RP-SMA interface.

Key Features
Precision-machined interface ensuring smooth 50 Ω impedance transition from semi-rigid or semi-flexible cable to RP-SMA port
Reversed center conductor (RP) convention for direct mating with RPSMA-equipped WLAN and test equipment ports
Solder and clamp termination matched to common semi-rigid outer diameters used in WLAN test cable assemblies
Low insertion loss and excellent VSWR across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz Wi-Fi operating frequencies
Phase-stable performance: connector geometry designed to preserve the inherent phase repeatability of semi-rigid cable
Gold-plated center contact for reliable, repeatable electrical performance in test fixture applications
Stainless steel and brass body options for laboratory and light field-use environments
RoHS-compliant

Typical Applications
WLAN transceiver module characterization test cable assemblies
MIMO and massive MIMO antenna array evaluation fixture cable sets
Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 device RF performance test bench cable assemblies
Phased-array Wi-Fi system development and calibration cable harnesses
RF shielded enclosure (RF chamber) feed-through test cable assemblies

FAQ
Q: Why use semi-rigid cable with RPSMA connectors in Wi-Fi test setups?
A: Semi-rigid cable provides the phase stability and amplitude repeatability needed for accurate characterization of WLAN device RF performance; phase errors from flexible cable flex-induced changes directly corrupt antenna gain and beam-pattern measurements in MIMO evaluation fixtures.
Q: What semi-rigid cable outer diameters do your RPSMA connectors support?
A: We produce versions for the most common semi-rigid outer diameters used in lab test cable assemblies; please provide your cable specification and our team will confirm the correct part number.
