Coaxial UHF Cable Rangeful HF240-PL-PL-20 50 Ω, 20 m, PL-259 to PL-259

Rangeful HF240-PL-PL-20 is a 20-meter coaxial UHF cable with 50 Ω impedance and PL-259 male connectors at both ends. It is engineered for connecting antennas, amateur radio transceivers, scanners and other RF equipment operating in VHF and UHF bands. The cable provides a standardized 50-ohm transmission line to maintain signal integrity over medium distances, suitable for temporary setups and fixed installations where a dependable RF link with low insertion loss is required.

Advantages

The cable combines a consistent 50 Ω characteristic impedance with PL-259 to PL-259 terminations for compatibility with common UHF sockets. Its 20 m length offers flexibility in antenna placement and equipment layout without the need for additional adapters. The construction balances flexibility and shielding to reduce handling strain and limit external interference, while connectors are fitted to ensure mechanical stability and repeatable electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Connecting VHF/UHF antennas to transceivers or scanners
• Temporary field deployments and portable radio setups
• Fixed installations where a 50 Ω coaxial link is required
• Amateur radio stations and repeater feeds

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: PL-259 (male) on both ends
• Cable type: UHF coaxial
• Intended frequency range: VHF and UHF applications
• Typical use: RF signal transmission with low insertion loss over medium distances

How to use

Connect one PL-259 end to the radio or transceiver output and the other PL-259 end to the antenna or antenna connector. Ensure connectors are properly threaded and hand-tightened to achieve a reliable mechanical and electrical connection; avoid overtightening metal threads. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and kinks, and secure it with suitable clips or ties to prevent strain at the connector interfaces. For outdoor runs, position the cable to reduce exposure to standing water and prolonged UV where possible.

Usage recommendations

Verify that your equipment uses 50 Ω impedance and UHF-type PL-259 connections before installation. For critical or high-power applications check insertion loss and VSWR at the operating frequency; where lower loss is required consider shorter runs or higher-grade coax. Inspect connectors periodically for corrosion and mechanical wear, especially after outdoor use.
