Engineered for industrial IoT, automotive telematics, 4G/5G mobile hotspots, and wireless surveillance, this ultra-compact RF antenna extension cable integrates nine industry-specific RF interfaces — SMA, TNC, BNC, MCX, MMCX, SMC, UHF, CRC9, and TS9 — all terminated on RG174 coaxial cable. Designed for space-constrained deployments where adapter chains fail, it delivers low-loss, high-reliability signal transmission from DC to 6 GHz, with full 50Ω impedance matching across all connector types.

RG174 is ideal for short-run, high-flexibility applications. Not recommended for long-distance feeder lines — use LMR400 for runs >2m.
Eliminate Adapter Chains — Reduces cumulative signal loss (up to 3–5 dB per adapter) and failure points in mobile or embedded systems
Universal Compatibility — One cable replaces 9+ separate pigtail cables for diverse devices: Huawei modems, Netgear routers, GPS trackers, industrial sensors
Vibration-Resistant Options — SMC and TNC threaded connectors prevent disconnection in moving vehicles or machinery
Miniature Form Factor — MCX and MMCX enable integration into compact IoT and wearable devices where SMA/N-Type are too large
Automotive & Outdoor Ready — TS9 and CRC9 connectors are standard in 4G/5G vehicle antennas and outdoor surveillance systems
RoHS & REACH Compliant — Certified for global compliance in consumer electronics and industrial deployments
Low PIM Design — Critical for dense 4G/5G networks and M2M communication systems
TS9 and CRC9 connectors are industry-standard for 4G LTE modems — this cable directly replaces proprietary OEM pigtails without signal degradation.
4G/5G Mobile Hotspots — TS9 → RG174 → SMA for external antenna upgrades on Netgear, Huawei, and TP-Link devices
Industrial IoT Gateways — MCX/MMMCX → RG174 for sensor-to-controller links in factory automation
Vehicle Telematics — CRC9 → RG174 → TS9 for GPS tracking and fleet management systems
Wireless Surveillance — UHF → RG174 for legacy analog CCTV systems; TS9 for modern HD IP cameras
Aviation & Drones — MCX → RG174 for ADS-B receivers and FPV video links
R&D & Prototyping — Rapidly test multiple RF interfaces without soldering or custom cable runs
Emergency Response Units — TNC + SMC for rugged, vibration-proof comms in police/fire vehicles
Note: UHF connectors are limited to 300 MHz — avoid for modern LTE/5G. Use CRC9 or TS9 instead for cellular applications.
