Types of RP-SMA Connection
So many of you may run into issue on types of SMA or RP-SMA Connector. Some miner uses different type of connection. For example: RAK Miner uses "RP-SMA Female" and the antenna end that connects to the miner is "RP-SMA Male"
For Example: RAK Miner: The miner end connector is a RP-SMA Female. It has an extra center needle. So the corresponding connector will be RP-SMA Male.
This is the corresponding end that uses RP-SMA Male. No Center Pin. Pretty confusing if you ask me, when we think male, should have center pin.
Another example: Dragino Miner, uses "SMA-Female" This one have no extra center pin. So the corresponding parts is "SMA-Male" which will have a center pin.
Here's a simple cabling flow diagram that shows the cabling flow using our antenna kit + extension cable.
