'''FME''' (For Mobile Equipment) is a miniature 50Ω [[RF connector]] series offering excellent performance from [[Direct Current|DC]] to 200&nbsp;[[Hertz|MHz]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amphenolrf.com/connectors/fme.html|title=FME RF Connector Specifications and Interface Dimensions — Amphenol RF}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegaertner.co.uk/fme-to-sma.html|title=FME to SMA|website=www.telegaertner.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-12-05}}</ref> (Note: 2.4GHz for Amphenol 81-169) used primarily with [[RG-58]] or equivalent coaxial cables employed in mobile applications and installations.

The FME [[Gender of connectors and fasteners|female]] is designed to be low diameter to allow cables it has been installed on to be snaked through the often tight access holes or spaces of a vehicle to the desired equipment location(s) where an FME male adapter to the required equipment connector series is fitted to the female cable connector. The thread is 8mm*0.75mm pitch, and the centre pin is 1.14-1.22mm diameter, with radiused end.

There is an extensive array of FME inter-series adapters available and a male cable connector is also offered for both RG-58 and RG-174 type cables to facilitate extensions, splices or transitions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amphenolrf.com/adapters.html?adapter_side_1=21|title=FME Adapters — Amphenol RF}}</ref>
