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

I got this cable to interface to a software defined radio. Seems decent enough, although the BNC end feels like it’s slightly loose and could use a little more spring tension. No matter, it worked fine when compared with another patch cable of similar length.

I play around with vintage televisions, and one of my tv transmitters has a female BNC port, and the transmitting antenna that I have to connect it to has a SMA male connector. Since this cable also has SMA male on one end, I needed to purchase separately a SMA female to female adapter. Everything works fine. This is a high quality cable with nice sturdy connectors. 5-Stars.

Oh yes. Impressed with the connectors. They actually fit without snagging, flopping, etc. This is good quality cable... Cable is stiff enough to stay arranged, but flexible enough to re-arrange. 15 was an overkill for my immediate project, and error on my part - thought Id ordered a shorter version, but repurposed this one and will order the sizes I actually need

Good quality cable with good connectors and well built

Both connectors (BNC and SMA) appear to be new and of good mechanical quality, almost certainly factory assembled onto the cable ends. Both ends have about 5.5 cm stiffener sheath heat-shrunk around the connector, as shown in the ad photos. Both connectors have gold plated (or, at least gold colored ;) ) center conductor pins, as advertised. The length of the cable I received was 4.5 m (14.85), per ad. The cable itself is no-name RG-8X, 6 mm diameter, rather stiff. Sheath is white-ish, more or less as shown in the photos. Markings: RG8X Low Loss Coaxial Cable at one-meter intervals, with spool extent increment indicated at each marking. No manufacturer name is imprinted anywhere on the cable that I could find. Quick connectivity check at 10 MHz, no issues. Did not measure loss vs. frequency. Summary: Cable appears to be substantially as advertised, no issues found.

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 needed to connect a spectrum analyzer to an amplifier which was located on another test bench and this cable assembly was perfect. It is extremely well-built with extra-long sleeves at the connector attachments. I could have used a BNC cable with BNC to SMA adaptors, but I wanted a standalone cable which was designed and tested to minimize cable effects on transmission qualities. I did, however compare the two candidate cable assemblies with a VNA and found this assembly was significantly better than the BNC plus adaptor solution. Highly recommend this item.

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.

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 cable seems to be well made. It is a little stuff as a result of having the solid core inner wire, but in my application it wont be moving much once its installed in the car. I wanted to have a short cable to a small antenna for scanning on the side with my handheld, which has a BNC end that matches this cable. The connectors look like they are nice parts and the heat shrink is well done. I dont have any meters or equipment sensitive enough to measure any power loss on a piece of coax this short, safe to assume it is indeed very low loss at the 6 foot length. I am very happy to not be needing to use adapters for my use case.
