Boobrie SMA Male to TS9 Female Adapter Cable (RG316, 15cm) – Low-loss antenna extension, 2-pack
Reviews
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
If you’ve got an antenna setup that uses an SMA connector on one end and a TS9 connector on the other, this Boobrie SMA male to TS9 female adapter cable is the type of add-on that makes everything finally line up. It’s essentially a short coax extension made with RG316 cable, supplied as a 2-pack (15cm each) with SMA male to TS9 female ends.
On paper, the pitch is simple: keep signal loss low while adding a bit of flexibility in where you place your router’s antenna or how you route the cable. In real homes and small offices, that usually matters because the WiFi/router box, hotspot, and antenna locations rarely match up neatly.
The essentials (what to expect from the RG316 cable)
RG316 is a small-diameter coax type, and here it’s described as “low-loss” and suitable for high-frequency use. The cable comes with seven-strand wire, which is often chosen where you want something that bends and handles installation without feeling overly stiff. There’s also a mention that it conforms to a military specification, which suggests Boobrie is aiming for consistency rather than a purely budget build.
The construction details are also part of the value proposition. A silver-coated copper braid shield covers the dielectric insulation, and there’s a transparent fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) protective jacket. That jacket is described as ultra-flexible and protective against wind, sand and moisture—helpful if your routing isn’t fully “indoors-only”, or if the cable spends time by vents, windows, or external-facing equipment.
Of course, no cable is magic. If you need longer runs, this 15cm length can feel a bit short—so it’s best thought of as an extension for positioning and connector compatibility, not as a solution for distance.
Where it really shines in use
This is aimed at setups that need SMA-to-TS9 conversion/extension for wireless equipment. The base description lists a broad set of projects—antennas, broadcast, radios, Wi‑Fi and telecom devices, CCTV, microwave applications, and digital communication systems. It also specifically calls out 3G/4G LTE hotspot router WiFi use, and even mentions devices like Vodafone K5005.
A practical example: imagine your LTE hotspot or router is on a desk, but your antenna works best when mounted near a window. With a short adapter cable, you can move the antenna placement without forcing the router to sit directly next to it—or without trying to make a cable run look tidy with awkward bends.
Key things to check before you buy
The biggest “don’t get burned” point here is connector matching. This cable is SMA male to TS9 female. If your existing antenna or router expects the opposite genders (or uses a different connector altogether), this won’t help.
Also, think about length and environment. At 15cm, it suits short repositioning and neat cable routing, but it won’t cover big placement gaps. And while the jacket is described as protective against wind, sand and moisture, you’ll still want to consider how you’re securing the cable and keeping connections strain-free.
Finally, mating life time is mentioned as “2-year maintenance”, but the text doesn’t provide exact cycle ratings—so if you’re looking for a product marketed around extreme repeated reconnections, you may want to look for those specifics elsewhere.

Buying verdict
When it makes sense
It’s a solid pick if you specifically need to extend or adapt between SMA male and TS9 female for antenna placement, particularly for 3G/4G LTE hotspot/router WiFi-style setups. The RG316 low-loss approach and the protective, flexible jacket make it a sensible choice for tidy installations where the cable needs to bend a little and handle everyday conditions.
When you may want to skip it
You may want to skip it if your system doesn’t actually use SMA male and TS9 female connectors, or if you’re trying to solve a long-distance cable run with only 15cm. It’s also not the best match if you’re expecting detailed performance measurements (beyond “low-loss”) or long-run results with this exact length.
Who it’s for
This suits people who are setting up or tweaking wireless antenna placement and want a short, purpose-made adapter cable in a 2-pack.
Who should avoid it
If your equipment uses different connector types (or different gender/format), you’ll be better off looking for a matching adapter/cable rather than forcing compatibility.
Mini FAQ
Will this work with my hotspot/router antenna setup?
It’s designed for SMA male to TS9 female antenna use, and the listing explicitly mentions 3G/4G LTE hotspot routers and devices such as Vodafone K5005. If your device uses those same connectors, it should be the right direction.
Is 15cm enough?
Fifteen centimetres is mainly for short repositioning and connector compatibility. If you need to span a larger distance between the router and antenna, this length may leave you short.
What makes it “low loss” here?
The cable is described as a 50Ohm low loss RG316 type, with silver-coated copper braid shielding and an FEP jacket. That’s the basis of the performance claim in the information provided.
How many cables come in the pack?
The package includes 2 pieces, each 15cm.
