The GOOBAY 71433 BNC connector cable, RG58 coaxial, shielded, 0.5 m, black, BNC male to BNC male is a ready-to-use coaxial cable featuring a 0.5-meter length, RG58 shielding, and BNC male connectors on both ends. For comparison, alternative Goobay and Rangeful products are included: a standalone plug GOOBAY BNC Plug Connector for RG58 Cable, 50 Ohm, Soldered, a similar ready-made longer cable Goobay BNC to BNC Cable 1m 50 Ohm Black, an adapter GOOBAY BNC Plug to F Socket Adapter, a long high-frequency cable Rangeful HF400-BNCM-NM-40 Coaxial Cable BNC Male to N Male 40m LMR400 UF UltraFlex Equivalent, and a television antenna cable Goobay 66613 Coaxial Cable 3C-2V Male to Female 1.5 m White. Most of these items share the purpose of transmitting signals in coaxial systems, but they differ in form factor (ready-made cable versus individual connector or adapter), connector types, length, and intended application ranging from home entertainment systems to professional radio frequency and laboratory setups.
⚙️ The technical specification comparison between this cable and alternative solutions covers product type, connection design, connector types, length, and intended application.
| Parameter | GOOBAY 71433 BNC... (0.5 m) | GOOBAY BNC Plug (connector) | Goobay BNC to BNC (1 m) | GOOBAY BNC to F Adapter | Rangeful HF400-BNCM-NM-40 | Goobay 66613 (1.5 m) | Practical significance |
|---|
| Product type | Ready-made coaxial cable | Standalone connector (plug) | Ready-made coaxial cable | Adapter / converter | Ready-made high-frequency cable | Ready-made coaxial cable | A ready-made cable eliminates the need for soldering or assembly, whereas individual connectors and adapters serve for custom wiring or bridging different standards. |
| Connector types | BNC male to BNC male | BNC male (solder type) | BNC male to BNC male | BNC male to F female | BNC male to N male | RG58 / 3C-2V (Male to Female) | Determines compatibility with existing equipment: direct BNC connections suit instruments and video gear, while adapters bridge disparate cable lines. |
| Cable length | 0.5 meters | Not applicable | 1 meter | Not applicable | 40 meters | 1.5 meters | A short cable is convenient for connecting devices in close proximity without excess wire coils, while longer versions are required for distant routing. |
| Cable type and shielding | RG58, shielded | Designed for RG58 cable | 50 Ohm coaxial | Not applicable | LMR400 UF UltraFlex equivalent | 3C-2V | Cable grade affects signal attenuation: RG58 and LMR400 are optimized for radio frequencies and instruments, while 3C-2V targets household antenna tasks. |
| Application | Professional video, radio frequencies, laboratories | Assembly on RG58 cable | Video, audio, radio frequencies, CCTV | Video and antenna systems | Radio frequency and antenna systems | Antennas and television | Specialized items are built for instruments and devices, whereas consumer-grade cables are used for home entertainment and television setups. |
◎ The evaluation of usage scenarios and buyer needs helps determine which solution best fits a specific technical requirement.
| Usage scenario | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Short connection between devices with BNC ports | GOOBAY 71433 BNC connector cable, RG58 coaxial, shielded, 0.5 m, black, BNC male to BNC male | Ideal for clean and precise hardware interconnection at minimal distance without excess cable clutter. |
| DIY assembly or repair of an RG58 cable | GOOBAY 71433 BNC connector cable, RG58 coaxial, shielded, 0.5 m, black, BNC male to BNC male -> GOOBAY BNC Plug Connector for RG58 Cable, 50 Ohm, Soldered | Allows building a custom-length cable with specific configuration by soldering the plug onto the wire. |
| Connecting cables of different standards (BNC and F) | GOOBAY BNC Plug to F Socket Adapter | Necessary when transitioning from a surveillance or instrument coaxial line to a television or satellite F-type line. |
| Long-distance signal routing (radio communications, antennas) | Rangeful HF400-BNCM-NM-40 Coaxial Cable BNC Male to N Male 40m LMR400 UF UltraFlex Equivalent | Delivers high-frequency signal transmission over long distances with minimal loss due to its flexible design. |
| Connecting a home television or antenna | Goobay 66613 Coaxial Cable 3C-2V Male to Female 1.5 m White | Optimized for household entertainment systems featuring male-to-female connections and a standard 1.5-meter length. |
It is recommended to choose the GOOBAY 71433 BNC connector cable, RG58 coaxial, shielded, 0.5 m, black, BNC male to BNC male if you need a ready-to-use, shielded, and compact connection with BNC connectors for laboratory instruments, testing equipment, or professional video gear. Unlike assembly components, adapters, or long antenna runs, this cable comes fully prepared for operation and is optimal for interconnecting devices positioned close to one another.
