Southwest Microwave’s SuperSMA is a high performance field service SMA connector. SuperSMA utilizes the basic PTFE dielectric interface (true SMA) and features low VSWR mode free through 27 GHz and less than -100 dB RF leakage. The thick outer conductor wall provides great durability to assure reliability in repeat mating, enhancing component performance. The SuperSMA interface is in accordance with MIL-STD-348.

See "Specifications & Details" tab for more information. 

• Guaranteed performance to 43.5 GHz with Extended K™ ports
