Overview

The Panorama CA-SP-FP converts an FME male cable termination to an SMA male connection. FME's slim connector is designed to pull through grommets and conduit, then take a finishing adapter at the equipment end — this one terminates the run for SMA female device ports. Plated brass construction and a -40 to +80 degree C operating range suit vehicle and field installations.

  • Converts FME male cable termination to SMA male connection
  • Plated brass construction (nickel or gold) for corrosion resistance
  • Operating temperature -40 to +80 degrees C (-40 to 176 degrees F)
  • Finishes slim FME cable runs pulled through grommets and conduit
  • Pairs with Panorama FME-terminated mobile antenna cables
  • MPN CA-SP-FP, UPC 5055416034472
  • Individually packaged for service-kit stocking
  • Finish FME cable runs into SMA-port routers, modems, and radios

FME-terminated cable is a staple of vehicle and building RF installs because its small connector pulls easily through grommets, pillars, and conduit. The trade-off is that the run must be finished with an adapter matched to your equipment, and that is the job of the Panorama CA-SP-FP: it converts the FME male termination to an SMA male connection, ready to thread into the SMA female antenna port on routers, modems, and radios.

The adapter is machined from brass with nickel or gold plating for corrosion resistance and repeatable contact, and it is rated for operation from -40 to +80 degrees C (-40 to 176 degrees F) — a range that covers engine bays, rooftop enclosures, and unheated equipment rooms. Panorama Antennas has manufactured antennas and RF interconnect since 1947, and pairs this adapter style with its own FME-terminated mobile antenna lines.

Installation is tool-free: push the cable through the mounting path first, then thread the CA-SP-FP onto the FME termination and connect to the device. Fleet installers commonly keep an assortment of FME finishing adapters on hand so a single stocked cable type can serve devices with SMA, TNC, or other port styles. This unit is individually packaged under UPC 5055416034472.

Ideal for

  • Terminating an FME antenna cable run at a cellular router or modem with an SMA female port
  • Fleet vehicle installs where cable is pulled through grommets before the connector is finished
  • Building installs routing slim FME cable through conduit to equipment closets
  • Service kits that adapt one stocked FME cable type to multiple device port styles

Questions buyers ask

Why do antenna cables use FME connectors at all?

FME connectors are deliberately slim so the cable can be pulled through vehicle grommets, door pillars, and conduit without a bulky connector attached. The run is then finished with an adapter like the CA-SP-FP that matches the equipment port.

What port does the SMA male end plug into?

The SMA male end threads into an SMA female port, which is the standard antenna port on most cellular routers, modems, and many radios.

Can it be used outdoors or in a vehicle engine area?

The adapter is rated for -40 to +80 degrees C and uses plated brass for corrosion resistance. For permanently exposed outdoor junctions, add weatherproofing tape or boots over the mated pair as standard practice.

Is this compatible with RP-SMA equipment?

No. This is a standard-polarity SMA male adapter. RP-SMA ports need a reverse-polarity adapter such as the Panorama CA-SJ-RPSP or CA-SP-RPSP.
