ordering from element 14 confused of Illinois

e14 Contributor over 10 years ago

Hi there

 

this will be my first order from Element14 so please don't flame me.  I have the following problem

 

unit A has   sma FEMALE connector

 

unit B has a RP-SMA FEMALE connector

 

I need to connect the two with an adapter and need to see it to make sure I am not messing up. I can't seem to find the online product ordering area for the SMA adapters???

 

so how do I do that online? I can't seem to figure this site out.

 

AGAIN I am new to this site so PLEASE be gentle

    Are they both radios or is one side a cable or antenna?

    Does the SMA Female look like this?

    Are you looking for a cable that goes between these two connectors?

    Hey Charles

    thank you for taking an interest and yes but I would prefer a connector NOT a cable. ANY help you can give would be appreciated.

    I couldn't find it on Newark.  I have had very good results with Fairview Microwave (formerly SM Microwave aka S&M Microwave) 

    Try clicking on this SMA Male to RP SMA Male below

    If this is wrong check out the other varieties of SMA to SMA connectors they have.

    Hey Charles

    thanks so much for taking the time and I will certainly check out Fairview. At $28 it looks VERY expensive but...

    thanks again for doing such a GREAT job
