Coaxial cable Rangeful BNC male to PL259 UHF, RG58, 50 Ω, 1 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful BNC male to PL259 UHF, RG58, 50 Ω, 1 m is a single‑meter RF lead that terminates a BNC male connector on one end and a PL259 (UHF) connector on the other. Constructed with RG58 dielectric and a 50 ohm characteristic impedance, this cable is intended for short patching tasks between equipment with differing connector types. The compact construction delivers a standard 50 Ω path for analogue and digital RF signals in amateur radio, test benches and antenna feed arrangements.

Advantages

The cable combines common connector types—BNC male and PL259 (UHF)—into a single, ready‑to‑use assembly suitable for quick mating. Using RG58 as the coaxial core maintains the expected characteristic impedance for many RF setups, reducing impedance mismatch when used within its frequency and length constraints. The 1 m length provides convenience for bench connections and short feed runs while limiting signal loss associated with longer cables. Connectors are fitted for straightforward attachment without additional tools in typical field or lab scenarios.

Suitable for

• Amateur radio transceivers and transverters requiring BNC to UHF (PL259) adaptation
• Laboratory test equipment, oscilloscopes and signal generators with differing RF connectors
• Short antenna feed runs, patching between devices and temporary installations
• Carrying out quick on‑site measurements and signal checks

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 1 m
• Connector A: BNC, male
• Connector B: PL259 (UHF), male
• Typical use: RF interconnects, patching and short feed lines

How to use

Connect the BNC male end to the equipment with a BNC female socket and screw the PL259 end onto the corresponding UHF female connector until hand‑tight; avoid overtightening. Ensure both mating surfaces are clean and free from corrosion or debris before making connections. For test setups, position the cable to minimize bends with small radius turns; for antenna feeds, route the cable to reduce sharp kinks and secure it to prevent movement that could stress connectors. Check continuity and VSWR where applicable after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this RG58 1 m lead for short runs and bench work where a direct BNC to PL259 connection is needed. Avoid using it as a long‑distance feed for high‑power transmissions; for longer runs or higher frequency applications consider thicker low‑loss coaxial types and properly rated connectors. Store dry and protect connector ends from dust when not in use.
