Hi,

I am wondering if there is a product that connects SMA M to SMA F, similar to product [132171](https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/amphenol-rf/132171/1011923), but does not have the electrical components within. I am just interested in the body of the connector because I am using this to couple a light source to a powermeter, so I want the light to be able to travel through.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Chamilton,

Welcome to the Techforum community! I don’t see an option for that style of connector with an empty cavity. Would a cable gland like these [https://www.digikey.com/short/mmr508f5](https://www.digikey.com/short/mmr508f5) work?
