MOOKEERF SMA to BNC Cable 3ft SMA Male to BNC Male Cable SMA BNC Adapter Cable RG8X Jumper Cable for RF Applications/Antennas/Wireless LAN Devices/Wi-Fi Radios External Antenna

So for what this is advertised as, its fine. It is a Coax cable with the connectors as listed. However, I ordered this to modify it to be part of a HAM radio setup, and found that this is the first Coaxial cable I have ever encountered that I could not solder to it. I have never encountered that, so I am unsure what kind of metal this is. If you need a coax cable just as this one is configured, then it will be fine, pretty well made. However, dont order if you intend to modify it for any purpose and need to solder it.

I got this cable to interface to a software defined radio. Seems decent enough, although the BNC end feels like it’s slightly loose and could use a little more spring tension. No matter, it worked fine when compared with another patch cable of similar length.

This fit my needs perfectly. Im testing a clock generator with an SMA connector and I didnt have any. So in lieu of getting an adapter, I opted for the cable with the SMA/BNC - and its good. Works fine, impedance checks-out and its harder to lose something this big.

The cable is stiff, but seems durable. Each end has a generous length of heat shrink to reinforce the connector. The SMA connector has a gold plated barrel and pin; the BNC connector barrel is nickel plated with a gold plated pin. I measured insertion loss using a Nano-VNA: 1.0 dB @ 3000 MHz 0.8 dB @ 2000 MHz 0.4 dB @ 1000 MHz 0.4 dB @ 500 MHz 0.0 dB @ 50 kHz The cable should be sufficient for hobby purposes and for the cost is a good value.

I have quite a few Moonkeerf cables now and have impressed with the quality. This RG8x cable is no exception. It has very low loss. I have ran this from one of my hf radios to a dipole outside. I did add an SMA to UHF adapter to connect it to the tuner. Getting great readings on the nanovna. Moonkeerf does a great job on the connections and heatshrink on the ends.

I picked up this cable specifically for use between a SDR (SMA) and a portable antenna with a BNC connector. I typically try to purchase application-specific cables when possible to reduce the insertion loss from various adapters. This cable from MOOKEERF fit my needs perfectly. As with other MOOKEERF cables Ive purchased, this one has excellent build quality with quality cable and connectors. I dont use these in a permanent outdoor scenario so cant really speak to their resistance to the elements. For my application-specific use cases, these cables perform with excellence and Im very satisfied.

This is by all indications a well-made jumper, exactly as advertised. I took mine apart to get a better idea of the quality, and heres what I found. First, it arrived coiled up as in the attached photo. I dont care for the tight bend in the cable on the end with the SMA connector. They didnt do that to the end with the BNC connector, so there wasnt a need to do that to the other end. The connectors at each end are crimped on and each end is protected with a significant length of heat-shrink. It is thick and very tough, providing some additional strain relief on the crimp connection as well as protection. Underneath the heat shrink was the crimp connection. On inspection I would describe the quality of the crimp as between good to very good. Its not as good as the crimps on some high-quality jumpers I have, but its more than suitable for the intended purpose. I stripped off some of the PVC jacket (very thick and tough) and found a very good tinned braid underneath. Under the braid the dielectric was coated with an adhesive foil, just as advertised. The center conductor is solid copper. Overall it appears to be a very good jumper for the price. I cant comment on how long the cable will last (coax does wear out), but it seems to be well made with good coax and connectors. The jumper is not advertised as being suitable for outdoor use; I would say this is good for indoor use and temporary outdoor use as long as its not subjected to rain or similar. I will certainly be able to get some use from this around my Amateur Radio station. My only major concern with this jumper is the lack of labeling on the coax itself. The only thing the coax has on it is its type (RG8X) and the fact that its low-loss (see picture). And a number. All good jumpers are made with coax that has a lot of information printed on it, including things like the manufacturer, information about the jacket, and possibly thermal and electrical properties of the cable. This coax is probably just fine, but if the company wants to really win the respect of the techie types, the coax should provide more information on it.

If this is the cable you need and you dont mind it being white then this is the cable for you... Looks good and feels good and is overall very heavy duty. Good day & God Bless... Randall M. Rueff K9RMR

Oh yes. Impressed with the connectors. They actually fit without snagging, flopping, etc. This is good quality cable... Cable is stiff enough to stay arranged, but flexible enough to re-arrange. 15 was an overkill for my immediate project, and error on my part - thought Id ordered a shorter version, but repurposed this one and will order the sizes I actually need

i havent had the opportunity to use this yet, but it was ziptied and tightly wound in its box. i like the overall appearance, feel, length and sturdyness. it also looks very durable. Strong cable cord, terminated with well and firm, Quality made fittings/connectors, each secured by a hefty, thick heat shrink. very very nice
