Coaxial UHF Cable Rangeful HF240 50 Ohm, 5 m, PL-PL

Rangeful HF240 is a 5 m coaxial UHF cable with 50 Ohm impedance and PL-PL connectors, designed for radio and RF signal transmission. The cable provides a flexible, shielded link between transceivers, antennas and RF equipment that require 50 Ω matching. It is intended for short cable runs where a compact, easy-to-route connection and reliable RF performance are required.

Advantages

The cable combines a 50 Ohm characteristic impedance with standard PL-259 connectors on both ends for broad compatibility with amateur radio, CB and scanner equipment. Its construction offers adequate shielding to reduce external interference on short runs, while the flexible jacket simplifies installation in tight spaces. The 5 m length gives a balance between reach and manageable signal attenuation for local setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers to antennas in amateur radio and CB setups
• Linking short-distance RF equipment such as scanners and receivers
• Temporary or portable radio installations and field use
• Situations requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching for RF chains

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: PL-259 (UHF) on both ends
• Cable type: Coaxial UHF
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for VHF/UHF amateur and CB bands
• Construction: flexible jacket with shielded inner conductor (typical for HF240 design)

How to use

Connect one PL-259 connector to the transceiver or radio output and the other PL-259 connector to the antenna feedpoint or input of the RF device. Ensure connectors are fully threaded and tightened by hand to provide secure electrical contact; avoid over-tightening which can damage connector threads. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and kinks, maintain gentle curves to preserve impedance characteristics, and keep the run clear of large power cables or strong EMI sources when possible.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use Rangeful HF240 for short to moderate cable runs where low loss and flexibility are priorities. Inspect connectors periodically for corrosion and mechanical wear, and replace the cable if shielding or the jacket is damaged. When connecting to equipment with different connector types, use appropriate adapters while keeping cable length minimal to limit added insertion loss.
