Coaxial cable Rangeful HF400 12m, 50 Ω, full copper, BNC male to PL259 (UHF)

Rangeful HF400 is a 12 m, 50 Ω coaxial cable with full copper conductors, fitted with a BNC male connector on one end and a PL259 (UHF) connector on the other. Intended for HF, VHF and UHF radio and antenna connections, this cable supports signal transfer between transceivers, scanners and amateur radio equipment while keeping impedance consistent for short- to medium-length runs.

Advantages

The cable uses full copper conductors to maintain low resistance and consistent signal quality. Its 50 Ω impedance matches common radio equipment standards, reducing mismatch losses. The 12 m length offers flexibility for typical station layouts without excessive attenuation for short-to-medium distances. Fitted BNC male and PL259 (UHF) connectors provide compatibility with a wide range of transceivers, scanners and antenna adapters. The cable construction is designed for routine installations and repeated connector use.

Suitable for

• Connecting HF, VHF and UHF transceivers to antennas and tuners
• Linking radio scanners and receivers to external antennas
• Temporary or semi-permanent amateur radio station setups
• Interfacing between devices with BNC female and PL259 (UHF) female ports

Key specifications

• Length: 12 metres
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Conductor material: full copper
• Connector 1: BNC male
• Connector 2: PL259 (UHF) male
• Intended frequency range: HF / VHF / UHF applications

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before installation. Attach the BNC male connector to the device with a BNC female socket and secure the PL259 (UHF) male to the corresponding UHF female connector by threading and tightening by hand or with appropriate tools if specified by the equipment manufacturer. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or tight loops; maintain gentle curves to preserve cable integrity. For best results, keep the cable length as short as practical for the application and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable indoors or in sheltered outdoor locations unless additional weatherproofing is applied. Periodically check connector integrity and clean contacts if corrosion or dirt is present. When connecting between devices with different connector types, ensure adapters are compatible and maintain 50 Ω continuity to avoid increased signal loss.
