A few comments on SMB connectors :
SMB is a push on RF connector that is a cousin of the SMC connector both are identical except of the SMC being screw on.
SMB was designed as a miniature RF connector for internal wiring , it is normally used with RG174,188 and 316 cables but there are also versions that accommodate 0.086 hardline.
Frequency rating is -4GHz although in testing equipment it¡¯s usually used below 1GHz mostly for IF or sweep signals .
The biggest concern with SMB is that like most push ons they are leaky and tend to develop reliability issues over time as the leaf springs holding the connector in place tend to lose tension.

?George,
I will confirm if there is a connector on the other end and the exact length this coming weekend. Thank you.

David.
