Many antennas for routers or wifi equipments have RP-SMA connectors on them. But some devices do away with the bulky RP-SMA connector in favour of the miniature IPX connector (also known as IPEX, u.FL, AMC or MHF). If you have a device with IPX connector, how do you get the signal properly transmitted to a RP-SMA antenna? You'll need an RP-SMA to IPX adapter cable.
This cable adapts the two so that you can use an antenna with RP-SMA connector to boost the RF signal.
The length of the cable is approximately 15cm. The female RP-SMA on this cable has thread on the outside and a center pin. To attach it to an antenna, just screw-in the connector. A spacer and a nut is included for panel mounting. For the IPX connector, delicately snap on the female IPX connector to the male IPX connector on the PCB.
You can use this cable with many RF devices that have IPX connector. Take note that devices such as GPS or GSM boards usually use SMA antennas instead. Although they look almost the same, they are not compatible. Pay close to the gender and connector type. Look closely to the image in the gallery to avoid buying the wrong connector.
