Coaxial cable Rangeful HF240 50 Ω UHF 0.5 m

Rangeful HF240 50 Ω UHF 0.5 m is a short coaxial cable designed for reliable RF signal transmission and antenna connections. With a 50 ohm impedance and UHF connectors at both ends, this 0.5 metre lead provides a compact, low-loss connection for radio equipment, adapters and test setups where space is limited and a stable link is required.

Advantages

The cable offers consistent characteristic impedance and a short electrical length that reduces insertion loss in UHF frequency ranges. Its compact 0.5 m length minimizes unwanted cable movement and signal degradation in portable or bench-top installations. Durable construction and secure connector coupling help maintain reliable electrical contact and reduce intermittent connection issues during regular use.

Suitable for

• Connecting handheld or portable transceivers to antennas or adapters
• Short interconnects in RF test benches and measurement setups
• Temporary or permanent links between UHF devices where space is constrained
• Replacing or extending short patch leads in communication equipment racks

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector type: UHF connectors at both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Application frequency range: suitable for typical UHF radio use (VHF/UHF bands)
• Construction: coaxial cable with durable outer jacket and secure connector coupling

How to use

Align the UHF connectors and hand-tighten the coupling nut until secure; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to threads. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and kinks; keep bends above the cable's suggested bend radius to preserve characteristic impedance and reduce reflection loss. In test or measurement setups, use the HF240 as a short reference lead or connection between adapters and devices to limit added cable loss.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or debris and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage. Where possible, use short, direct runs and avoid unnecessary strain on connector joints. If using near high-power transmitters, verify the cable's suitability for expected power levels and monitor connector tightness after initial operation.
