A 300mm (1 foot) SMA male to TNC male cable with injection-moulded stress-relief boots. Built with SYV-50-3 cable for an excellent balance of low signal loss and high flexibility — chosen over RG58 for superior performance at GNSS frequencies.
Ideal for connecting RTK development boards to high-quality GNSS antennas. The 300mm length is well suited for monopole or tripod-mounted devices without excess cable.
Key Features
- SYV-50-3 Cable – Lower loss than RG58 (52dB vs 46dB per 100m) with excellent flexibility
- Reinforced Connectors – Injection-moulded stress-relief boots for field use
- 50Ω Impedance – Standard nominal impedance
Specifications
- Cable Type: SYV-50-3
- Length: 300mm (1 foot)

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GNSS
- GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, an umbrella term for satellite positioning networks such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Receivers use these satellites to determine position, and high-precision units can output a steady stream of serial position data.
- Impedance
- Impedance is the total opposition a component or circuit presents to alternating current, measured in ohms, combining resistance with frequency-dependent reactance. It appears in many contexts, such as matching a speaker's impedance (for example 4 ohm or 8 ohm) to an amplifier or the input and output impedance of signal circuits, and a correct match helps avoid weak signals, distortion or damage.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
- RTK
- Real-Time Kinematic positioning is a GNSS technique that uses correction data from a base station to greatly improve location accuracy. It matters if you need centimetre-level positioning for robotics, mapping, surveying, or tracking rather than ordinary metre-level GPS accuracy.
- SMA
- SMA is a small threaded coaxial (RF) connector widely used to attach antennas and other radio-frequency cables. A device with SMA antenna ports needs antennas or pigtails with matching SMA connectors, or a suitable adapter, to connect to them.
