I have always been confused with connector terminology. A standard BNC pip cable has connectors on both ends with what I would call a female shell and a center pin that I would describe as male. I see this called a bnc male. Obviously the center pin names the sex.
The pigtail I bought has a male pin and a male shell. They call it a female!????

Jerry,
This is an RP-SMA, (reverse polarity) the thing that is half-male and half-female invented for Wi-fi use to avoid people could use regular amplifiers and boost their wifi range.
You should avoid anything thet mentions RP for non-Wifi use. For your use, you are searching for something like item 150893862849. Cut and keep the female end to the needed length.
