RG-58 Coax Cable ACT RG 58 100m

The ACT RG-58 Coax Cable is a high-quality 50 Ohm coaxial cable designed for reliable signal transmission in various radio frequency applications. With a generous length of 100 meters, this cable provides sufficient reach for complex installations, while its robust black outer jacket ensures durability and resistance to environmental wear. It is engineered to maintain signal integrity, making it a dependable choice for both professional telecommunications setups and personal electronics projects.

Advantages

This coaxial cable offers excellent performance for RF signal distribution, ensuring minimal interference and stable connectivity. The 50 Ohm impedance is standard for many communication systems, providing compatibility with a wide range of equipment. Its durable construction allows for both indoor and outdoor use, protecting the internal conductors from physical damage and environmental factors. The 100-meter spool length offers great value and flexibility for large-scale wiring tasks, reducing the need for multiple splices or connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting radio transmitters and receivers
• Antenna installations for wireless communication
• Laboratory and testing equipment setups
• Amateur radio and CB radio systems
• General RF signal transmission tasks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for high-definition video transmission or standard television antenna connections, which typically require 75 Ohm coaxial cables. Additionally, it may not be suitable for high-power industrial applications where specialized shielding or thicker gauge cabling is required to prevent signal loss over extremely long distances.

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Cable type: RG-58
• Length: 100 meters
• Color: Black
• Application: RF signal transmission

How to use

To use the cable, measure the required length for your specific installation and cut it carefully using a professional cable cutter. Strip the outer jacket, shield, and dielectric insulation using a coaxial stripping tool to expose the center conductor. Attach the appropriate 50 Ohm connectors, such as BNC or SMA types, ensuring a secure and tight connection to prevent signal leakage. Once terminated, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment requires a 50 Ohm cable rather than 75 Ohm
• Ensure the connectors you plan to use are compatible with RG-58 cable dimensions
• Measure the total distance required to ensure the 100-meter length is sufficient
• Check if the installation environment requires fire-rated or plenum-rated cabling

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal quality, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable during installation, as these can damage the internal structure and affect impedance. Always ensure that connectors are properly crimped or soldered to maintain a consistent signal path.
