The flexible cable assemblies available from Amphenol RF now include the reverse polarity RP-SMA to AMC assemblies. The miniature cable assemblies on RG-178 cable are designed on a flexible cable type that offers good thermal resistance and is suitable for tight spaces.
The secure threaded coupling mechanism on the RP-SMA connector, along with the push-on mating of the right-angle AMC connector, make these assemblies particularly well-suited for use in antennas, WLAN, GPS and cellular applications, advised Amphenol RF.
The RP-SMA connector offers the same features and benefits as the SMA interface but the gender of the connector’s contact pin is reversed. The connectors provide additional benefits over traditional SMA, said Amphenol RF. In the event of wear, which is a typical result of screwing and unscrewing that causes signal strength to decrease, the RP-SMA connector allows for only the antenna or cable to be replaced which saves time.
These cable assemblies are typically used on Wi-Fi or WLAN devices.
