MCX Plug-Male to Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) Jack-Female

AIR802® part number AD-MCXRSJ is a coaxial adapter from a MCX straight plug-male to a reverse polarity SMA (RP-SMA) jack-female.

AIR802® manufactures high precision and performance adapters and connectors. Adapter and connector selection is extremely important to insure proper operation and reliability. Poorly constructed adapters and/or connectors will cause higher VSWR and insertion loss resulting in electrical noise and intermittent issues. AIR802® manufactures very large quantities of adapters and connectors for our global customers allowing us to provide an attractive quality to price ratio.

In choosing adapters and/or connectors, it is important to match one to the type of cable being used, the impedance (50 versus 75 ohms), the frequency support, insertion loss, voltage rating and environmental specifications. Adapters are very useful for matching different connector types.

This is a MCX Plug (male) to Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) Jack adapter. MCX Plugs are used with Apple Airport and other devices. The RP-SMA jack is considered a female. Male and female are confusing to the novice as they are not intuitive. We prefer the terminology plug / jack instead of male / female. The RP-SMA jack has threads on the outside and the center pin protrudes.
