FAQs

What type of cable is this adapter designed for?

This adapter is commonly used with RG-58 coaxial cable.

Can I use this adapter to connect two male connectors together?

No, this adapter converts a male FME to a male SMA. You would need a female-to-female coupler or specific cable ends to connect two male connectors.

What does 'FME Male Plug' and 'SMA Male Adapter' mean?

FME Male Plug refers to the connector with a pin (male) that is part of the FME series. SMA Male Adapter refers to the connector with a pin (male) that is part of the SMA series. This adapter has both types of male connectors.

Is this adapter weatherproof?

The product description does not specify weatherproof capabilities. For outdoor use, ensure proper sealing or choose adapters specifically rated for outdoor environments.

What if I need to convert from SMA Female to FME Female?

This adapter converts Male FME to Male SMA. For other conversions, Loops offers a wide range of adapters. Please contact us for assistance in finding the right one.

How does the compact size benefit installation?

The smaller size, particularly of the FME connector side, makes it easier to feed coaxial cables through small drilled holes or conduits, such as when passing a cable through a wall.

Troubleshooting

No signal after connecting the adapter

Ensure both FME and SMA connectors are fully seated and hand-tight. Verify that the adapter is the correct type for your intended conversion (e.g., not trying to connect two male ends directly without a female counterpart).

Adapter does not screw on properly

Check that you are attempting to connect male to female connectors and that the thread types match. Confirm that no debris is present in the connector threads.

Poor signal quality or intermittent connection

Inspect the connector mating surfaces for damage or dirt. Ensure the RG-58 cable itself is not damaged and is properly terminated on the other end. Consider if a different adapter or cable type might be more suitable for your specific frequency or application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates connection between FME and SMA systems.
  • Compact size simplifies cable installation through small openings.
  • Designed for durability with RG-58 coaxial cable.
  • Offers a solution for specific antenna and aerial threading needs.

Cons

  • Requires specific knowledge of FME and SMA connector types for correct application.
  • Not a universal solution; compatibility with all coaxial systems is not guaranteed.
  • May require additional adapters if both ends of the desired connection are not male.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the FME Male to SMA Male adapter, simply screw the FME male end onto a female FME connector and the SMA male end onto a female SMA connector. Ensure a firm, hand-tight connection to avoid signal loss.

Compatibility: This adapter is primarily designed for use with RG-58 coaxial cable. It is intended to convert an FME Male connection to an SMA Male connection, or vice versa, assuming the mating connectors are female. Verify that your existing cables and equipment have the corresponding FME Female and SMA Female ports.

Care: Keep the connector ends clean and free from debris. Store in a dry environment. Avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting to prevent damage to the threads or internal components.
