U.FL plug on the Wifi/BT module?
#1
Hello,

I bought an RP-SMA -> U.FL antenna for the Wifi/BT module.

The antenna pigtail UF.L plugs looks much bigger than the plugs on the original antennas coming with the Wifi/BT module (let's around 1.5 larger).

I checked the RockPro64 wiki as well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirose_U.FL and drew a blank.

Could you tell me what kind of plugs the Wifi/BT module uses?

TIA!

In future module, we plan to use back U.FL.

Yep, I found out with the seller who supported me on a Sunday (!). He even sent me the RP-SMA to U.FL mhf4 replacement cables for free (!)

Thank you for your reply.

Bonjour ...

Beaucoup de boutiques / Sites prétendre vendre des câbles RP-SMA / IPEX4 mais ce n'est pas le cas ... le connecteur IPEX4 n'en est pas un  Sad

Pour ceux que cela intéresse, j'ai trouvé une boutique sur AliExpress :

Excusez moi pour la qualité médiocre des photographies mais nous n'avons pas tous du matériel de professionnel Tongue

Voici le connecteur de l'antenne d'origine (à gauche avec le bidule blanc) et celui de celle reçu (à droite avec le bidule noir) :

Et pour finir le module WiFi et les 2 connecteurs :

Hello ...

Many shops / sites claim to sell RP-SMA / IPEX4 cables but this is not the case ... the IPEX4 connector is not one Sad

For those interested, I found a shop on AliExpress:

- GuerGuo RF Coaxial Cable Store

Excuse me for the poor quality of the photographs but we do not all have professional material Tongue

[Image: KIxphsSkzE5_IMG-20210923-144604.jpg]

Here is the connector of the original antenna (left with the white one) and that of the received one (right with the black one):

And finally the WiFi module and the 2 connectors:

I hope this post will be useful to some of you.

Best Regards.

I have the MIMO 2x2 module (incidentally, is something similar planned to be on stock again?). After some experimenting I have found out that the connectors are MHF4 - sort of. Most MHF4 cables have female receptacles that fit on the board but attach in an extremely loose way. Currently I am using this: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B09WMW6...UTF8&psc=1.

In case you use the NAS box, beware of the length of the cables.
