DeLOCK 88379 R-SMA Coaxial Adapter

The DeLOCK 88379 is a coaxial connector cable that converts an I-PEX connection to an RP-SMA interface, enabling the attachment of RP-SMA antennas to modules with I-PEX sockets such as WLAN or other RF/high-frequency modules. It is a single-piece cable assembly designed for use in RF signal transmission where a compact, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a direct RP-SMA output from I-PEX equipped modules, allowing easy connection of standard RP-SMA antennas. Its compact design supports installation in space-constrained setups while maintaining low signal loss typical of quality coaxial interconnects. The presence of both I-PEX and RP-SMA connectors makes the adapter versatile for various RF tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting RP-SMA antennas to WLAN modules with I-PEX sockets
• RF testing and prototyping where external antennas are required
• IoT devices and embedded systems that need external RF antenna connection

Key specifications

• Brand: DELOCK
• Model / MPN: 88379
• EAN: 4043619883790
• Connector 1: I-PEX
• Connector 2: RP-SMA
