Allo,

What is the name product of the small coupling on the coaxial cable. It’s because i need to put another 60 feet on my antenna ( so i need a female + male 60 feet cable with the small coupling on it )

Thank you,  
EASYRN

N-male to SMA-Male connectors. SMA being the small end.

Be careful about what cable you choose because of the losses involved with long cables.  
For instance a thin cable like RG174 would have about 20dB of loss for 60ft.  
You probably want to look at using something like LMR-400 and depending on what your existing cable run is, you may be better off replacing the entire feeder rather than trying to extend it.

Not sure this works! OP needs to extend so will need an SMA female at one end and a male at the other surely.

Sorry to pick up on this, not trying to be an arse!!

Yes, his specific application of extending the cable would require the terminations as you specify. His original question was asking what the small end termination hardware was named…that being the SMA.
