Used For
RP-SMA WiFi Extension Cable — RFC240
Extends RP-SMA WiFi antenna ports on routers and access points to ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or outdoor antenna locations. RFC240 delivers ~4.5 dB/100ft at 1 GHz — flexible enough for through-wall and ceiling routing while providing significantly lower loss than RG58 on runs from 15 to 100 ft.

About This Assembly
Specs Summary
RFC240 Cable
RFC-240 is a 0.240" 50-ohm low-loss coaxial cable delivering performance comparable to LMR-240 at a more accessible price, making it popular for installers who need reliable medium-distance cable runs. Well suited for cellular repeater installations, point-to-point wireless links, and access point feedlines up to 75 feet.
RP-SMA Connector
RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity SMA) uses the SMA threaded coupling mechanism but with the male/female pin convention reversed — the jack has a pin and the plug has a socket. Originally standardized to prevent connection of uncertified antennas to consumer WiFi equipment, RP-SMA is now the dominant connector on commercial WiFi routers, access points, and 2.4/5 GHz antennas.
Common Applications
This RP-SMA cable assembly is well suited for medium-length cellular and WiFi antenna runs at a value price point. The combination of reliable RP-SMA connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.
