Coaxial Cable Albrecht 7581 1.5 m PL 259 Black

The Albrecht 7581 coaxial cable is a 1.5 m PL‑259 cable designed for reliable signal transmission in radio communication setups. Its black outer jacket provides mechanical protection and resistance to everyday wear, while the PL‑259 connectors at both ends ensure secure mating with SO‑239 sockets commonly used on transceivers, antennas and other amateur radio equipment. The cable is suitable for short runs where flexibility and consistent RF performance are required.

Advantages

This coaxial cable combines a standardized PL‑259 connector interface with a flexible 1.5 m length to deliver straightforward installation and low handling complexity. The robust outer sheath increases durability in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments and helps protect the inner conductor and dielectric from bending stress. The cable construction limits signal loss over short distances and maintains impedance matching for typical HF/VHF/UHF applications when used with compatible equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers to external antennas in amateur radio stations
• Linking radios to antenna tuners, SWR meters or connectors with SO‑239 sockets
• Temporary or portable radio setups where a short, durable cable is needed
• Workshop testing and bench setups for radio equipment

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: PL‑259 on both ends
• Outer jacket color: black
• Intended use: RF signal transmission for radio communication
• Construction: coaxial cable with standard impedance suitable for common amateur radio applications

How to use

Inspect both PL‑259 connectors and the mating SO‑239 sockets for cleanliness and proper threads before connecting. Hand‑tighten the PL‑259 connectors to the mating sockets to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection; avoid excessive torque which can damage connector threads. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid kinking; maintain gentle curves to preserve cable impedance and reduce insertion loss. For outdoor use, keep connections protected from moisture and contaminants with appropriate covers or sealants.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this 1.5 m PL‑259 coaxial cable for short interconnections inside stations or in temporary field setups. Match the cable with equipment that accepts PL‑259/SO‑239 interfaces and avoid running it parallel to power lines to reduce potential interference. Periodically inspect connectors for corrosion or mechanical wear and replace the cable if the outer jacket shows significant damage.
