Boobrie FME Female to SMA Male Connector (SMA plug to FME jack) — 50Ω straight RF coax adapter, pack of 2
Product description
If you’re trying to connect an FME-ended coax cable to an SMA radio setup, the Boobrie FME Female to SMA Male Connector is the kind of small adapter that can save a lot of guesswork. On paper it’s a straightforward RF coax adapter (straight style) designed for 50Ω systems, aimed at antenna and wireless LAN / Wi‑Fi radio use where you need the right end for the job.
That said, this is still an adapter: it helps you make two connectors work together, but it doesn’t magically fix mismatched equipment. So it’s worth checking your existing cable ends and the connector gender/types before you commit.
The essentials
This is an RF coaxial adapter that converts between SMA Male and FME Female in a straight format. It’s described as 50 ohm impedance, which is the sort of baseline you generally want for typical coax runs used in wireless and antenna applications.
The manufacturer positioning (based on the description) is pretty clear: it’s for projects that involve FME to SMA type connector changes, including antennas and wireless LAN devices / Wi‑Fi radios. There’s also mention of use with coaxial cable, external antenna setups, and mobile/radio-style antenna arrangements.
If you’ve ever had a cable that fits the radio enclosure but not the antenna lead (or vice versa), this is exactly the “right connector on the right side” problem that adapters like this are meant to solve.
What you’ll notice day to day
Where this type of adapter makes its case is in day-to-day practicality: it’s a compact piece that lets you keep your existing coax and antenna hardware, rather than replacing whole cables or re-terminating them.
The description also points to pure brass construction and “great connectivity”, plus a claimed durability (mating) of ≥500. That doesn’t guarantee perfect real-world longevity in every setup, but it suggests it’s not just a throwaway connector.
One small limitation to keep in mind: because the entry is specific to SMA male to FME female, you’ll want to be sure you’re converting the correct direction. Get the gender or type wrong and you’ll either be unable to connect at all, or you’ll need an additional adapter to bridge the gap.
Key takeaways for buyers
This pack includes 2pcs SMA–FME adapters, so it can suit both a single setup (spares are handy) and small projects where you may need the same conversion on more than one run.
On paper, the temperature range is listed as -55~+155°C, which is broad. In practice, that’s the sort of rating you typically appreciate if your antenna/cabling setup sees outdoor exposure or changing conditions.
It’s also described as a low-loss cable adapter use case for connecting FME to SMA low loss cables (the text mentions “low loss cables” in the context). Still, performance will always depend on your overall coax and installation quality, so it’s best thought of as a connector-matching solution first.

Where it shines (and where it may not)
This adapter is a sensible pick if you’re building or maintaining a setup where you already have FME-ended coax and need to interface with SMA male hardware, such as a wireless LAN / Wi‑Fi radio arrangement using external antenna leads.
It may not be the best choice if: - your connectors are the “wrong way around” (for example, you actually need SMA female to FME male, or a different connector type entirely) - you’re expecting it to replace careful RF cabling choices (it can help with compatibility, but it won’t turn an unsuitable coax system into a high-performance one) - your project needs angled/other-form-factor fittings, this one is explicitly straight
A quick practical example: imagine you’ve got an FME female antenna lead that’s handy from an old wireless router setup, but the new radio’s input expects an SMA male plug. Rather than swapping the entire cable, you’d fit this adapter at the radio end so the lead can physically mate correctly.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you need a straight SMA Male ↔ FME Female coax adapter for a 50Ω wireless/antenna project, and you’d rather match connectors than re-terminate cables. The pack of 2 and the brass build plus the stated mating durability make it look practical for real installations, including setups that may face a wide temperature swing.
Skip it if you’re not confident about your connector genders/types, because the adapter is specific (SMA male on one side, FME female on the other). Also, if your setup requires a different physical style (not straight) or a different impedance baseline, you may end up paying for the wrong link in the chain.
Mini FAQ
How do I confirm it’s the right adapter for my cable?
Check the connector gender and type on both ends of your coax/cable: this one is described as SMA Male (plug) to FME Female (jack) in a straight format.
What does “50 ohm” matter for?
The description lists 50Ω impedance, which is commonly used in many RF/coax scenarios. If your system expects a different impedance, the match may not be suitable.
Is the straight style a problem?
Straight adapters are usually fine if you have clearance to route the coax without kinks. If space is tight or you need a different angle, you may need another form factor.
What’s the point of buying a 2-pack?
A spare can be useful if you’re wiring more than one radio/antenna point, or if you want a backup during testing and installation.
