Cable and Pigtails

Info freight charges


Pigtails are short pieces of cable used to adapt from small connector systems to larger ones. Usual adaptors are less suitable due to mechanical reasons. Pigtails are made from thin and flexible coaxial cable. Although this cable has a higher attenuation it has to be used because no other cable is available for some small connectors.

Ipex or U.FL™?

The small surface mount connector is called Ipex or U.FL™, but U.FL™ is a registered trademark of Hirose. So Ipex and U.FL™ are the same connectors, just from different vendors.

Coaxial connectors and adaptors

Info freight charges


WiMo offers a wide range of connectors and adaptors. here we only show a selection relevantto WLAN usw. A full list of coaxial connectors can be found here.

Reverse or not Reverse - what is what?

SMA, TNC, BNC, N and some other connectors are available as normal and "reverse" versions. This is relevant to the type of center conductor - where you would expect a female contact is a male and vice versa. Since the introduction of these reverse types the meaning of "jack" and "plug" have become quite confused...: We keep to the rule that something with an outer thread is a jack (usually found on a router), something with an inner thread is a plug.

  Outer conductor Center conductor
Normal plug: Inner thread Male
Normal jack: Outer thread Female
Reverse plug: Inner thread Female
Reverse jack: Outer thread Male
