I need a U.FL to female header cable like the one shown in this picture

But I can't seem to find one anywhere on the internet. Any clue where one exists?

 

I got various adapters from Nooelec (http://www.nooelec.com/store/sdr/sdr-adapters-and-cables.html) and others from eBay.

 

Neither of those has what I'm looking for.

 

Seems like complete nonsense to me. If one end requires UFL and 50 ohm coax cable, what good will it do when you make a huge impedance discontinuity and connect it to a 100mil header? The result at the header will most likely not be useful signal but rather garbage.

 

When something as common as those connectors are is not available "anywhere," there is usually a reason. And the solution should you be so inclined is to make it yourself or salvage it from another device if you can find one.

Admittedly, connecting to the U.FL connector can be difficult, but pigtails are readily available, which is what I thought you wanted. You can then attach whatever you want to the other end(s).

Are you saying I can't use this for Mclock transfer? I need to connect Mclock on an Amanero to a fifo board, the Amanero uses header pins and the fifo has only a U.FL connection for Mclock slave output.

 

What is the frequency of that clock?

 

49Mhz I think.

 

Then it probably could be ok.

But UFLs that attach to pigtails don't exist. U.FL is a 2 wire connector right?

 

Here is what I was talking about:


By "pigtail" I meant a short length of coax that you would then attach to the header. Digikey has them, but they are relatively expensive there: https://www.digikey.com/product-det...-ltd/U.FL-2LP-068N1T-AC-50/H122294-ND/4867036. Yes, it is 2-wire. The center is obviously attached at both ends. It is not clear to me from your picture whether the shield is attached at both ends for each cable.
