Built with a 50-ohm impedance and gold-plated SMA connectors, it minimizes signal degradation while remaining thin and easy to route through walls, windows, and vehicle cabins. It’s a practical alternative to thicker LMR100 or RG58 runs when long, neat runs are required in tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this cable improve my antenna placement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtending the antenna lets you raise or reposition it for clearer line-of-sight and reduced obstructions, which often improves reception and transmission. The low-loss solid copper center conductor and gold-plated SMA connectors keep attenuation low over the 33-foot length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e33 ft length gives flexible mounting options (roof, window, pole).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-ohm RG174 suited for many RF devices including SDR and GPS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold-plated SMA connectors resist corrosion and ensure firm mating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThin, easy-to-route cable for neat installation in tight runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich devices are compatible with this SMA male-to-female cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is compatible with any device using standard SMA male or SMA female antenna ports and a 50-ohm line. It’s commonly used with software-defined radios, WiFi routers, cellular boosters, GPS receivers and security cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with SDR dongles, WiFi routers, hotspots and cellular boosters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with GPS modules, IP\/back-up cameras, and radio equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for TV coax (F-type) or satellite dish systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs with RP-SMA only if the device uses the standard SMA interface (check connector gender).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat performance can I expect from RG174 over 33 feet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRG174 is a thin, flexible 50-ohm coax with slightly higher loss than heavier cables but much easier to route. Over 33 feet it provides an effective balance of convenience and acceptable attenuation for short-range RF uses where extreme low loss isn’t critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-loss solid copper conductor for reliable signal transfer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest for WiFi, GPS, SDR, and cellular applications at modest distances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot ideal for high-power transmitters or long-distance links where LMR400-style cable is preferred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold-plated connectors reduce contact resistance and corrosion risk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install and maintain the cable for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute the cable without tight kinks, secure it with clips, and avoid sharp bends near connectors. Keep connectors clean and hand-tighten to prevent damage; use torque tools only if specified by the connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid tight loops; use gentle curves to preserve impedance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeal outdoor connections from moisture when used externally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-tighten SMA connectors and inspect periodically for corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore coiled loosely to prevent permanent deformation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? If you need a long, flexible antenna lead to reposition an antenna without moving your device, this 33-foot SMA male-to-female RG174 extension is a convenient and affordable choice. It’s aimed at hobbyists, installers, and technicians working with SDRs, WiFi access points, GPS modules, cellular extenders, backup cameras and other 50-ohm RF equipment who value easy routing and dependable connectors over ultra-low-loss bulk cable. Avoid using this cable for TV or satellite applications that require F-type connectors or thicker, lower-loss coax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this SMA cable compatible with RP-SMA devices?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: This cable uses standard SMA male-to-female connectors; RP-SMA devices require reverse-polarity connectors, so check your device or use an RP-SMA adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this cable for a TV or satellite antenna?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This is 50-ohm RG174 with SMA connectors, not the 75-ohm F-type coax used for TV or satellite systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48412856352925,"sku":"B0BFM6SQZZ","price":22.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/9596\/1757\/files\/generic-sma-extension-front-connectors.jpg?v=1781252227","url":"https:\/\/nexoltic.com\/products\/generic-sma-extension-cable-33ft-rg174-male-female","provider":"Nexoltic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
