Pigtail U.FL IPX IPEX SMA-F female jack RG178 10 cm 50 Ω WiFi LoRa

Pigtail U.FL IPX IPEX - SMA-F female jack RG178 10 cm

High-quality antenna adapter (pigtail) with an U.FL (IPX/IPEX) connector on one end and a female SMA-F jack on the other. The RG178 coaxial cable, 10 cm long, with 50 Ω characteristic impedance provides a stable, reliable connection in wireless systems such as WiFi and LoRa. It is an ideal way to bring the antenna connector outside the device enclosure.

The adapter is fully compatible with popular microcontroller platforms and radio modules. It works excellently as an accessory for ESP8266, ESP32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi.

Key technical specifications

• Connector 1: U.FL (IPX / IPEX) plug
• Connector 2: female SMA-F jack
• Cable type: RG178
• Overall length: 10 cm
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Applications: WiFi, LoRa, GSM, Bluetooth

Example use cases

• Routing an external antenna in projects based on ESP8266 and ESP32 modules.
• Improving communication range in IoT systems that use LoRa.
• Modifying routers and WiFi network adapters to attach a higher-gain antenna.
• Building custom telemetry devices and weather stations with Arduino.
• Integrating with GSM and LTE modules in alarm and monitoring systems.
• Expanding connectivity options on Raspberry Pi single-board computers.

Benefits

• Signal stability - RG178 cable helps minimize losses in the RF path.
• Versatility - standard SMA-F and U.FL interfaces work with most radio modules on the market.
• Compact footprint - the 10 cm length makes cable routing easier in small project enclosures.
• Durability - solidly terminated connectors support long life and mechanical robustness.
• Easy mounting - the SMA-F jack is suited for convenient panel mounting.
