Coaxial cable Rangeful SMA Male to PL259 UHF HF400-SM-PL-5, 50 Ω, full copper, 5 m

Shielded coaxial cable Rangeful SMA Male to PL259 UHF HF400-SM-PL-5 is a 5 meter, 50 Ω RF cable with full-copper conductors and SMA male to PL259 (UHF) connectors. The cable is built for low-loss transmission between devices that use 50 ohm impedance, providing a reliable connection for amateur radio, HF and communications equipment. Durable connector housings and solid copper conductors reduce insertion loss and maintain signal integrity over the specified length.

Advantages

The cable combines full-copper inner conductor and shielding to ensure low attenuation and stable characteristic impedance. Factory-attached SMA male and PL259 (UHF) connectors enable straightforward plug-and-play installation without additional termination. The 5 m length offers flexibility for station layout while keeping signal loss within expected limits for HF and VHF use. Overall construction emphasizes mechanical robustness at connector junctions and consistent RF performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting radios, transceivers and transverters with SMA and PL259 (UHF) ports
• HF, VHF and certain UHF amateur radio links that require 50 Ω impedance
• Test setups and temporary station wiring where a 5 m shielded lead is needed

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 ohm
• Conductor material: full copper inner conductor and copper shielding
• Connector type: SMA male to PL259 (UHF) male
• Length: 5 m
• Cable characteristic: shielded coaxial designed for RF signal transmission

How to use

Inspect connector ends for secure assembly and clean mating surfaces before connecting. Align the SMA male center pin and thread the PL259 coupling nut by hand, avoiding cross-threading. Tighten SMA connections finger-tight and secure PL259 by hand; if needed, use a torque wrench or appropriate tools to apply manufacturer-recommended torque values for optimal RF contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing, or proximity to strong interference sources. Periodically check connectors for corrosion and re-seat connections to maintain low-loss performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this 50 Ω coaxial cable for HF and VHF links where impedance matching is required; avoid long runs beyond the specified length when minimizing loss is critical. Keep the cable away from high-power mains cables and strong electromagnetic noise sources to preserve signal quality.
