Sealed SMA Plug & Jack Solutions: Eliminating the Need for Extra Sealing in the Field

GCT now offers Sealed SMA extender cables that provide IP67, IP68, and IP69K protection—addressing common challenges with sealing and long-term connector reliability.

In many applications, engineers have traditionally used self-amalgamating tape to seal SMA connectors or mated pairs in the field. While this method can offer temporary protection, it often results in inconsistent sealing, makes maintenance more complex, and increases downtime during inspections or repairs.

GCT’s patent-pending SMA extender cables offer a fit-and-forget solution, delivering consistent sealing performance at both the connector interface (mated and unmated) and cable entry points —without the need for additional sealing materials. This simplifies installation, improves reliability, and reduces maintenance requirements over the product lifecycle.

Engineered for Reliable Operation in Any Environment

Available in both gold-plated brass and stainless steel variants, GCT’s SMA extender cables are designed to perform in harsh and challenging environments. The range is qualified for use in industrial, marine, aerospace, and outdoor applications, operating reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

This range has been developed to meet the increasing demand for reliable, maintenance-free SMA connections in applications where sealing integrity is critical. The patent-applied-for design ensures dependable protection at both the connector interface and cable entry points, eliminating the need for traditional sealing methods such as self-amalgamating tape and simplifying maintenance in the process.
