What Is a U.FL Micro Coaxial Cable?

A U.FL micro coaxial cable is a miniature RF cable assembly using a U.FL connector at the termination.

U.FL connectors are commonly used where a compact RF connection is required between a PCB and an RF component, module or antenna system.

The combination of a small connector and miniature coaxial cable allows the cable assembly to be routed through limited internal spaces while maintaining a controlled RF transmission path.

For OEM equipment manufacturers, selecting the correct U.FL cable requires more than simply matching the connector. Cable diameter, frequency range, impedance, attenuation, shielding and routing requirements should also be considered.

1.37mm Micro Coaxial Cable for RF Applications

A 1.37mm micro coaxial cable provides a compact alternative to larger RF coaxial cables.

The smaller cable diameter can be useful in applications where:

• PCB space is limited
• Multiple RF cables must be routed together
• The cable must pass through a narrow enclosure
• The antenna or RF module is located close to the main PCB
• Weight and cable size need to be minimized

However, reducing cable diameter can affect RF characteristics and mechanical performance. The cable construction should therefore be selected according to the required frequency, attenuation, impedance and installation environment.

6GHz U.FL RF Cable

This U.FL RF cable assembly is designed for applications up to 6GHz.

At higher frequencies, cable construction and termination quality become increasingly important. RF performance can be affected by cable geometry, impedance control, connector interface, shielding, cable length and termination consistency.

For a 6GHz RF cable assembly, engineering teams should therefore evaluate the complete interconnect rather than considering the connector alone.

Typical RF parameters that may need to be specified include:

U.FL Cable for Compact RF Equipment

U.FL cable assemblies are particularly useful when RF components are installed directly on or near a PCB.

A miniature coaxial cable can connect an RF module, antenna, wireless communication circuit or other RF component to the required PCB interface.

The compact construction is useful when the equipment enclosure does not provide enough space for conventional coaxial cable assemblies.

For high-density electronic equipment, the cable routing should also be considered during the mechanical design stage. Excessive bending, sharp routing or repeated movement can affect the long-term reliability of a miniature RF cable.

Custom U.FL Micro Coaxial Cable Assembly

A standard U.FL cable may not always match the mechanical and electrical requirements of an OEM device.

A custom U.FL micro coaxial cable assembly can be specified according to:

• U.FL connector configuration
• Cable diameter
• Cable length
• RF frequency
• Impedance
• Attenuation
• Shielding
• Connector orientation
• Cable routing
• Termination requirements
• Quantity and production requirements

For build-to-print projects, customers can provide a drawing, connector part number, cable sample or equipment interface information for engineering evaluation.

HOTTEN can provide custom RF cable assemblies for applications requiring connectorized miniature coaxial interconnects.

Engineering & Procurement Considerations

When sourcing a U.FL 1.37mm micro coaxial RF cable, procurement teams should provide enough information for the supplier to evaluate both RF performance and mechanical compatibility.

If the equipment has limited PCB space

Then: a miniature U.FL coaxial assembly can be considered.

Why: the small connector and 1.37mm cable structure can reduce the space required for RF interconnection.

If the RF system operates close to 6GHz

Then: the complete cable assembly should be evaluated for RF performance.

Why: connector selection alone does not determine the performance of the RF interconnect.

If the cable must be routed through a compact enclosure

Then: cable diameter, bending radius and connector orientation should be specified during RF cable design.

Why: mechanical routing can directly affect assembly reliability and installation consistency.

Typical Applications

The U.FL 1.37mm 6GHz Micro Coaxial RF Cable Assembly can be considered for:

• Wireless communication equipment
• RF modules
• Antenna connections
• Compact communication devices
• Embedded RF electronics
• IoT equipment
• Industrial wireless equipment
• High-frequency electronic equipment
• Space-constrained PCB assemblies

The exact cable construction should be selected according to the frequency, impedance, attenuation and mechanical requirements of the target equipment.

Why Choose HOTTEN for Custom Micro Coaxial RF Cable Assemblies?

HOTTEN focuses on precision electronic wire, micro coaxial cable and custom cable assemblies for compact electronic applications.

For U.FL RF cable projects, the engineering process can be based on the required connector, cable diameter, cable length, RF frequency and equipment interface.

This is particularly important for OEM projects where an off-the-shelf U.FL cable does not match the required cable length, routing configuration or RF requirements.

For projects requiring a U.FL micro coaxial cable, 1.37mm RF cable or 6GHz RF cable assembly, the cable and connector configuration can be evaluated according to the customer's application requirements.
