Coaxial UHF Cable Rangeful HF240-PL-PL-15 — 50 Ω, 15 m, PL-259 to PL-259

Rangeful HF240-PL-PL-15 is a 15 m coaxial UHF cable with 50 Ω characteristic impedance and PL-259 (UHF) male connectors at both ends. It is intended for RF signal transmission between transceivers, base stations, antennas and RF accessories. The cable offers a straight 50-ohm transmission path over a medium-length run, suitable for connecting amateur radio rigs, CB radios and other VHF/UHF equipment where a flexible, shielded interconnect is needed.

Advantages

The cable combines a consistent 50 Ω impedance with industry-standard PL-259 male connectors to ensure reliable mating with UHF female sockets. Its 15 m length provides extended reach without the need for multiple joins, reducing insertion loss and potential connection points. The coaxial construction provides shielding against external interference and maintains signal integrity for voice and narrowband data transmission. Connectors at both ends are fitted for straightforward mechanical connection to radios and antenna feedlines.

Suitable for

• Connecting amateur radio transceivers to antennas or antenna tuners within a 15 m run
• Linking CB radios to rooftop antennas or antenna mounts
• Connecting RF accessories such as SWR meters, antenna switches and simple filters
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations where a flexible 15 m UHF cable is required

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: PL-259 (UHF) male on both ends
• Frequency range: suitable for VHF and UHF radio bands (voice and narrowband data)
• Cable type: coaxial, shielded construction for RF use

How to use

Inspect both connectors and mating sockets for cleanliness and mechanical integrity before making connections. Align the PL-259 male connectors with the corresponding UHF female sockets on the radio, antenna or accessory and tighten by hand or with an appropriate wrench if required to ensure a secure mechanical fit; avoid overtightening. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and tension, keeping it clear of high-power electrical lines and sources of mechanical wear. For best RF performance, use a single continuous run where possible and avoid unnecessary adapters or multiple connector joints.

Usage recommendations

For improved longevity and consistent RF performance, protect outdoor runs with suitable weatherproofing at connector interfaces, avoid tight coiling that could deform the cable, and periodically check connectors for corrosion or loosening. When using near transmitting equipment, observe recommended feedline routing to minimize exposure to high heat or moving parts.
