This IPEX1 to SMA female cable is designed for connecting antennas or RF devices to wireless modules. It features the miniature IPEX1 (U.FL/IPX) connector for compact board connections and a standard SMA female connector for robust antenna links.
It uses flexible RG1.13 coaxial cable, which suits space-constrained applications where a stiffer cable would not bend into place.
The listing states a cable length of 20cm and a connector length of 11mm, and presents the cable as ideal for IoT, drone and DIY RF projects.
SMA female connector: the standard threaded connector for external antennas.
IPEX1 (U.FL) connector: a miniature snap-on connector for compact boards.
RG1.13 coaxial cable: thin and flexible for tight spaces.
20cm length: enough to move an antenna to a better position.
Easy to connect: simple snap-on and screw connections.
Many small wireless modules, such as video transmitters, receivers and IoT boards, use a tiny U.FL socket for their antenna. A pigtail cable converts that fragile socket into a sturdier SMA connector that can be mounted on a panel or frame and take a standard antenna.
Coaxial cable keeps the radio signal shielded, so route it away from noisy power wiring and avoid sharp bends. The U.FL connector is rated for only a small number of mating cycles, so connect it once, straight on, and avoid unplugging it repeatedly.
Never power a transmitter without an antenna connected, because this can damage the radio.

Relocating an antenna away from a noisy board
The cable has an IPEX1 (U.FL) connector at one end and an SMA female at the other. Check that your antenna has an SMA male (pin) connector and that your module uses IPEX1 (U.FL) before ordering.
The listing title mentions 20cm while the description mentions 10cm; the specification table and package contents state 20cm, which is what this product is sold as.
