Coaxial cable Rangeful BNC male to PL259 UHF RG58 50 Ω 0.5 m

Half-meter coaxial cable by Rangeful with a BNC male connector on one end and a PL259 (UHF) connector on the other. The cable uses RG58 construction with a rated impedance of 50 Ω, providing a short-length connection option for radio frequency (RF) signals. This 0.5 m lead is intended for situations where a compact, impedance-matched interconnect is needed between equipment sporting BNC and UHF (PL259) interfaces.

Advantages

The Rangeful RG58 cable offers consistent 50 Ω impedance for reduced reflection and stable RF performance across short runs. Its BNC male and PL259 (UHF) connectors enable direct mating with common amateur radio transceivers, antennas, and test instruments without adapters. The short 0.5 m length minimizes insertion loss and helps maintain signal strength in tight setups or when routing cables inside racks or housings.

Suitable for

• Connecting amateur radio transceivers to antennas or antenna tuners
• Linking RF test equipment, spectrum analyzers, or signal generators to devices with different connector types
• Short interconnects in radio stations, vehicle installations, or equipment racks
• Temporary or permanent connections where a compact, impedance-matched cable is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector A: BNC male
• Connector B: PL259 (UHF) male
• Intended use: RF signal transmission over short distances

How to use

Connect the BNC male end to equipment with a BNC female socket and the PL259 male end to equipment with a UHF (SO-239) socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, where applicable, tighten the PL259 coupling to secure the mechanical connection. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and maintain gentle cable routing to preserve impedance characteristics and minimize loss. For permanent installations, check that the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before making the connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m RG58 BNC-to-PL259 cable when a short, impedance-matched link is required between BNC and UHF interfaces. For higher power transmissions, longer runs, or installations exposed to the elements, consider cables and connectors rated for elevated power handling and environmental protection.
