RP-SMA to RP-SMA Cables (Coaxial Cable with RP-SMA Connectors)
Shop RP-SMA to RP-SMA RF Cable Assemblies (Coaxial Cables with RP-SMA Connectors) at Amphenol Cables on Demand. The Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) Connector was developed for use with the included set of antennas for 2.4-GHz and later 5-GHz Wi-Fi Routers and Access Points. Reverse Polarity connectors were a mandated by the FCC at the time to discourage the use of upgraded screw-on "high-gain" wifi antennas or the use of indoor/outdoor mounted "high-gain" antennas connected via coaxial cabling. When mounted outdoors at elevation and with gain ratings of 20dB or more, one could boost a Wi-Fi signal by 100-times.
To reverse the polarity of the connection, the RP-SMA simply reverses the standard connector pin/socket plug/receptacle arrangement of the SMA connector. In a standard SMA connector, the male "plug" connector, which is typically installed on a coaxial cable line that plugs into a device, its center pin visibly protrudes outward. SMA female "receptacle" connectors, on the equipment side, feature a recessed hole/socket to "mate" with said pin. Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) is the opposite, where the male coaxial cable "plug" is the one with the recessed hole/socket and the equipment-mounted female "receptacle" has a protruding pin.
Amphenol RP-SMA Coaxial Cables are offered in two configurations -- male to male and male to female. Male to Male Coaxial Cable Assemblies are to be installed specifically between any device's (i.e. wifi/cellular) built-in female RP-SMA jack and an external amplifier or antenna with the same female RP-SMA jack installed on it. Our RP-SMA Male to Female Coaxial Cable Assemblies are used specifically as a RP-SMA extension cable, i.e. making an existing RP-SMA coax connection longer if you need to relocate equipment or mount your antenna higher up for better signal coverage and penetration.
