Description

SMA to SMA Cable Assembly

SMA to SMA cable assemblies are designed for RF signal transmission between two devices or components, using SMA connectors at both ends. These assemblies are commonly used in telecommunications, test equipment, wireless systems, and other applications that require high-frequency, low-loss connections.
