Coaxial cable Rangeful HF240 50 Ohm PL259 to PL259, 2 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful HF240 50 Ohm PL259 to PL259, 2 m is a shielded RF cable designed for short interconnections in amateur radio and scanning setups. The 50 Ω characteristic impedance and PL259 (UHF) male connectors on both ends make it suitable for linking transceivers, tuners, antenna analyzers and mobile or base station antennas where a compact, flexible lead is needed. The 2 meter length balances reach and signal integrity for desktop stations and portable deployments.

Advantages

The cable offers consistent 50 ohm impedance for minimal signal reflection and effective matching with typical amateur HF, VHF and UHF equipment. Its dual PL259 male connectors provide secure screw-on attachment to SO-239 sockets commonly found on radios and antenna hardware. The construction includes shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal quality over the short run, while the flexible outer jacket eases routing in cramped station layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting HF transceivers to antenna tuners or antenna feed points
• Linking scanners, receivers and portable radios to external antennas
• Short patch connections between radio equipment on a station bench
• Temporary or mobile installations where a 2 m lead is sufficient

Key specifications

• Characteristic impedance: 50 ohm
• Connector type: PL259 male on both ends
• Length: 2 meters
• Intended frequency range: HF, VHF and UHF signal bands (typical applications)
• Cable type: coaxial with shielding for RF use
• Outer jacket: flexible for easy routing (material varies by production)

How to use

Connect the PL259 male connectors to matching SO-239 or PL259-compatible sockets by aligning the threads and turning the connector until snug. Avoid over-tightening; hand-tight is typically sufficient to provide a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to mains wiring or noisy electronics to reduce interference. For permanent outdoor runs use appropriate weatherproofing at connector joints.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this 2 m cable for short links between equipment where low loss is required. If longer runs are necessary, select a coaxial type with lower attenuation and consider additional surge protection when connecting to outdoor antennas. Inspect connectors regularly for corrosion and ensure clean, secure mating surfaces to maintain consistent RF performance.
