PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Laird Technologies CA100-NFB-SMAM-8 N-Female Bulkhead to SMA-Male RF Cable
The Laird Technologies CA100-NFB-SMAM-8 is an 8-inch RF coaxial pigtail cable with an N-female bulkhead connector at one end and a standard SMA-male connector at the other. Its LMR100-equivalent construction provides a short interconnect for RF equipment and antenna connection assemblies.
Designed for wireless systems and OEM equipment integration, this cable provides a bulkhead connection point while allowing a short cable run to an SMA interface. The compact length is useful where installation space and cable routing are limited.
Key Features
- Exact manufacturer part number: CA100-NFB-SMAM-8.
- N-female bulkhead connector.
- Standard SMA-male connector.
- 8-inch cable length, equivalent to 20.32 cm.
- LMR100-equivalent coaxial cable construction.
Connectivity and Installation
The N-female bulkhead end provides a panel connection interface. The SMA-male end connects to a standard SMA-female interface. Confirm panel fit, mating connector details, and the complete RF system requirements before installation.
Compatibility
Select this assembly only after verifying the equipment's connector polarity, impedance, operating frequency, RF power, and installation requirements. A matching connector alone does not establish complete system compatibility.
Important: The SMA connector is standard SMA, not reverse-polarity RP-SMA. This cable is an RF interconnect and does not provide Ethernet connectivity or PoE.
Ideal Applications
- Short RF interconnections in OEM equipment.
- Panel or enclosure integration requiring an N-female bulkhead interface.
- Wireless equipment installations requiring this exact connector combination and cable length.
Compatible Products
No specific equipment models have been verified for this cable. Before ordering, confirm that the installation requires an N-female bulkhead to standard SMA-male RF cable with an 8-inch length.
The N-female end requires an appropriate N-male mating connector, and the standard SMA-male end requires a standard SMA-female mating connector. Also verify impedance, frequency, RF power handling, mounting clearance, and environmental requirements for the complete assembly.
Important: Standard SMA and RP-SMA have different center-contact configurations and must not be treated as interchangeable. Do not select this cable solely because connector threads appear to fit. Outdoor sealing and weather resistance have not been confirmed for this exact assembly.
