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

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.

I bought this cable to lengthen the distance I can run my antenna for my cell phone repeater. Where I camp there’s barely in a cell phone reception and I hope to run it up at Pine tree to increase the receipt if ability of the signal. This should work great with the cable I already have.

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 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.

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

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 got this to connect my nanoVNA to various devices around the shack such as antenna tuners and baluns and such. What I like: High quality connectors and cable. Strong strain relief at each connector makes it unlikely to fail at the joint. Their claimed cable loss is exceptionally low. I didnt measure the loss, but it certainly feels low-loss based on quality of the connectors and stiffness of the cable. What I dont like: the cable is very stiff. In fact, I decided not to use it with my nanoVNA whose SMA connector is not very robust and im afraid it would eventually be damaged by using such stiff cable. Instead, Im using a short length of RG174, which is flexible enough to take the strain off the nanoVNA. Although RG174 is lossy, a 3 ft long cable should have negligible loss for my applications. Note that Im only interested in frequencies below 30 MHz. For VHF and UHF applications, low loss cable like this would be much more important.

These are my go to choice for factory SMA to BNC cables. SMA connectors give me fits and frustrate me so now I get these instead. Quality constructed cables by people that know how to install difficult connectors. Recommended product!

If you do much with RF, test gear, or ham radio, you know the the BNC and SMA connectors are some of the most common today, and jumper cables often need different connectors on each end. This is one of those cables that you just want on the shelf for when, not if, you need it, and the length of 6 feet that I chose is just because that seems to be around arms length, which is often a semi-circle describing where my tech stuff is relative to my chair. The cable seems to be well-made with thick-walled, yellow heat shrink tubing at each connector. You can just see a little adhesive ooze-out in the photo, confirming that is adhesive lined, providing both strength and some water resistance, although I wouldnt leave either SMA or BNC connectors out in the weather long-term. The white jacket of the cable is imprinted RG8X Low Loss Coaxial Cable, showing that it is the advertised variety of coax cable. I saw no brand name on the cable, but I wasnt expecting something like Belden or Pasternack at this price point. RG-8X is not what I would call low loss. Its more of a modest loss, with a lot less loss than RG-58 and a lot more loss than RG-6. This six foot cable length of cable would add about 0.8db of attenuation at 1GHz, 0.5dB at 500MHz, and less than 0.1dB throughout the HF ham bands (<30MH). Thats exclusive of any losses due to SWR and impedance mismatches, of course. Basically, this is a decent trade-off between attenuation, diameter, weight, and flexibility for typical uses. MOOKEERF has supplied a number of cables that I have and although a few were just a bit short, this one is almost exactly six feet long -- to the best one could expect for any commercial cable assembly. Im happy to recommend this.

Great quality cable. MOOKEERF SMA Male to BNC Male cable 15 ft. This product works great.
