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

Many pieces of radio-related equipment come only with SMA jacks, and sometimes using SMA-UHF or SMA-BNC adapters is not particularly convenient. This patch cable is solidly built - connectors are securely soldered and heat-shrink wrapped. My only complaint is that the coaxial cable itself is quite rigid and tough to reform into a coil for storage/transport. It is ideal if you need a cable like this in a fixed location, and dont have to worry about coiling and uncoiling it often. Even with the rigidity of the cable, this line has found a permanent place in my box of test equipment.

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 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

This is exactly as described, and it works great for my Cradlepoint router. I need to convert an SMA end adapter to a BNC (coaxial) end adapter and this is the cable that did it. I took a picture of the BNC end, so you can see that is looking for a coaxial female end that has the two notches on the end, so you can slide this cables into the coaxial female end. If you want this cable to go into a female threaded end, this cable will NOT work for that, so just be aware of what you are ordering. I love the yellow jacket for extra protection on the ends, so they dont fray (think iPhone lightning cables) so I know I dont have to worry about that. Great selection and great cable. Would get it again.

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

Good quality cable with good connectors and well built

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.

The construction of this cable appears rugged. Strain relief at each end appears to be double-layered. I measured loss up to 1.5 GHz, see attached screen shot. Loss at 1.5 GHz is just over 1 dB. Note: this is NOT a flexible piece of coax, so is more suited to a permanent installation, rather than a lab cable that gets handled a lot.

This cable is very high quality and the connectors are robust. The waterproofed and sealed ends are an unexpected feature. This cable has the correct connectors for using an external BNC connector antenna with a MMDVM hotspot or a WiFi device.
