Small RPSMA wire

Wireless & IoT
1

Hello,

I am looking for a small RPSMA wire (4-6 in) to extend the antenna on a XBee modem. Anyone knows a place where I could get this cheap (I live near of Montreal, Quebec)?

The reason I am looking for this wire is to separate physically the modem from the RF antenna. The whole thing is going to fly into a aerial vehicle, and in case of a crash I fear that if I connect the antenna directly to the modem, the XBee’s PCB will get damaged. I am hoping that a flexible wire between the 2 will help…

Thanks! :wink:

What, I believe, you are looking for is a short piece of coax with an SMA female connector on one end and an SMA male connector on the other.

These might be hard to find bit SMA male to male jumper and female to female adapters are not. Just use a male to t male jumper and a female to female adapter.

Lots of sources.

Aah jumper wire, that’s the word I needed thanks! I found some on eBay (15cm in length, perfect!). :smiley:
