U.FL (IPEX) to BNC Male Connector Cable - 15cm (Bayonet Plug)

Specifications

• Connector A: U.FL (IPEX 1 / MHF1) Female

• Connector B: BNC Male (Standard Polarity)

• Pin Configuration: Male Pin (Center)

• Locking Mechanism: Bayonet (Twist-Lock)

• Cable Type: 1.13mm Micro Coaxial

• Impedance: 50 Ohms

• Length: 15 cm

• Frequency Range: DC to 4 GHz

• Insulation: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene)

Key Applications & Projects

• RF Analysis: Connect a LoRa/WiFi module directly to an oscilloscope or frequency counter to view the waveform.

• SDR: Connect internal antennas or tuners to BNC-equipped Software Defined Radios.

• Video/CCTV: Interface wireless video transmitters (VTX) with legacy BNC monitors.

Virtual Technician & Wiring

• ⚠️ Connector ID:

  • BNC Male (This Cable): Has a Pin. Twist-locks onto the jack.

  • TNC Male: Has Threads. (Looks similar but won't fit).

  • Usage Rule: If your equipment has a smooth metal barrel with two small "nubs" on the side, it is BNC Female. This cable fits.

Accessories & Parts

What's Included:

• 1 x U.FL (IPEX) to BNC Male Connector Cable (15cm)

Compatible Upgrades:

• Adapter: BNC Female to SMA Male (for adapting to SMA devices).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Will this fit my Oscilloscope? YES. Almost all oscilloscopes use BNC Female inputs. This cable plugs directly in.

2. Is this the same as TNC? No. BNC uses a twist-lock (Bayonet). TNC uses screw threads. They are not compatible.

3. Does the connector have a pin or a hole? This is BNC Male, so it has a Male Pin in the center.

4. What is the max frequency? BNC is generally rated up to 4GHz. Above that, use SMA.

5. Is the cable 1.13mm? Yes, flexible coax.

6. Can I use this for CCTV? Yes, analog CCTV uses BNC.

7. Is the IPEX connector compatible with ESP32? Yes.

8. Will this fit M.2 WiFi cards? No, M.2 uses IPEX 4 (MHF4). This is IPEX 1.

9. Is it waterproof? No.

10. Can I use this for Ham Radio? Yes, for low-power connections (BNC is common on handhelds).

11. What is the impedance? 50 Ohms. (Note: Some CCTV is 75 Ohm, but 50 Ohm BNC will usually fit for testing).

12. Is the contact gold-plated? Yes.

13. Does it rotate? The bayonet collar rotates to lock; the body is fixed.

14. Is it shielded? Yes.

15. Can I use this for 5.8GHz? Not recommended. BNC becomes lossy above 4GHz. Use SMA for 5.8GHz.

16. Is this compatible with RCA? No, but adapters exist.

17. Does it come with a nut? No, it is a Plug.

18. Can I use this for audio? Sometimes BNC is used for digital audio (Word Clock), but this is RF coax.

19. Will this fit a Raspberry Pi? Yes, if modded with a U.FL connector.

20. Why use BNC? It is the fastest connector to attach/detach (quarter turn).
