Coaxial cable Rangeful PL259 to PL259 HF400 50 Ohm flexible, 5 m

Flexible 5 m coaxial cable Rangeful with PL259 to PL259 connectors (model HF400) is intended for 50 Ohm radio systems. The cable supports HF, VHF and UHF frequencies and is suitable for connecting transceivers, antenna tuners and external antennas to radio equipment. HF400 construction emphasizes flexibility to simplify routing in indoor and portable installations while maintaining consistent characteristic impedance for minimal signal reflection.

Advantages

This PL259 to PL259 cable combines a flexible dielectric and braided shield to provide reliable RF transmission in typical amateur and professional radio setups. The 50 Ohm characteristic impedance matches standard HF/VHF/UHF equipment to reduce mismatch loss. Robust PL259 connectors on both ends ensure secure mechanical connection and consistent electrical contact, while the overall cable design is optimized for ease of handling, bending and short runs between transceiver and antenna accessories.

Suitable for

• Connecting HF/VHF/UHF transceivers to external antennas
• Portable radio stations and field operations
• Short cable runs between antenna tuners, SWR meters and radios
• Indoor installations where flexibility and easy routing are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ohm
• Connector type: PL259 to PL259 (UHF male to UHF male)
• Frequency range: HF/VHF/UHF (suitable across typical amateur and commercial bands)
• Construction: flexible dielectric with braided shield for mechanical flexibility

How to use

Connect one PL259 connector to the transceiver’s antenna output and the other PL259 connector to the antenna feedpoint, tuner or accessory. Ensure both connectors are fully seated and hand-tightened to provide secure contact; avoid over-tightening which can damage threads. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and kinks—maintain gentle curves to preserve impedance characteristics. For outdoor use, protect connector junctions from prolonged moisture exposure with appropriate sealing or weatherproofing materials.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium runs where flexibility is required and where a matched 50 Ohm connection is necessary. Inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or loosening, and replace the cable if the braided shield or dielectric shows signs of damage. For critical high-power or very long-distance links, verify power handling and loss against system requirements before deployment.
