Some antenna cables use F type connectors, but most modern RF devices use SMA (or RP-SMA) antenna connections. This adapter lets you use older-style cabling and antennas with newer equipment. If you happen to have an antenna and cable setup with the right frequency but with older type F connectors, no point in replacing the antenna and cables, just use an adapter to convert and you are in business.I am using this with a Helium miner antenna. I am getting a significant difference between the specified antenna gain and the actual reported gain, but I am thinking this may be due to my antenna not being properly mounted yet. As such, I can't reliably estimate the signal loss due to this adapter. Every adapter will have some loss, its just a question of how much. For now I am assuming the loss due to the adapter is on par with most other adapters.Fit is good on both the SMA and the F connection, no issues there. Manufacturing quality seems good.

I recently picked up a pair of Boobrie SMA to F Type connectors to upgrade my home antenna setup, and so far, I'm quite satisfied with their performance. The adapters have a sturdy build that instills confidence in their longevity – something crucial for someone like me who doesn't enjoy frequent replacements. What really stood out was the quality of the threads; they screwed on smoothly without any hassle, indicating nice deburring, which is often overlooked but essential for maintaining signal integrity.I've been using these to connect an old coax cable to a new radio device, and the transition has been seamless with no perceptible signal loss. Though I haven't had them long enough to comment on their longevity fully, initial impressions align with the positive feedback from other users regarding durability. The metallic finish gives it a professional look and feels like it can withstand some wear and tear.Overall, the Boobrie adapters are a practical purchase for anyone needing to link legacy F connector equipment to modern SMA devices. They do what they're designed to do without any frills, and that's exactly what I was looking for.

They would have worked, except they did not fit.

These ate female to female. Will not work where you need female to male. Now I have to return to place 20 miles away- they say it's free. What about my gas and the?

I used this to connect an extension coax cable to our tv. They work as expected with no signal problems. They are reasonably priced

Easy to lose but great to have for my portable HT's and custom antennas!
