Coaxial cable Rangeful BNC male to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 3 m

Rangeful BNC male to PL259 UHF coaxial cable, built on RG58 50 Ω core and 3 m length, provides a straightforward connection between devices with BNC and PL259/UHF ports. The cable is intended for RF signal transmission where 50-ohm impedance matching is required, making it suitable for amateur radio setups, test equipment connections, and short-run RF installations. The construction balances flexibility and shielding typical of RG58, offering a compact solution for linking transceivers, antennas, receivers, and measurement instruments over short distances.

Advantages

This coaxial assembly combines a BNC male connector and a PL259 UHF connector on a single RG58 50 Ω feedline, ensuring electrical compatibility for 50-ohm systems. The 3 m length gives moderate reach without excessive signal loss associated with longer runs. The RG58 core provides a familiar level of flexibility and jacket robustness suitable for bench use and temporary field connections. Connectors are standard types widely supported on amateur radio and test equipment, simplifying installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Amateur radio transceivers and antenna interfaces
• Laboratory and bench test equipment with BNC or UHF ports
• Short coax runs between receivers, transmitters and measurement instruments
• Temporary RF setups, field tests and demonstrations

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Connector 1: BNC male
• Connector 2: PL259 (UHF) male
• Length: 3 m
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for VHF/UHF ranges and test applications

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before use. Align the BNC male with the female BNC socket and push in, then rotate the coupling nut to lock if present. For the PL259 UHF end, align the center pin and thread the mating SO-239 connector nut by hand, then tighten gently with a suitable wrench—avoid over-torquing to prevent damage. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid running parallel to mains power lines to reduce interference. For best performance, keep the run as short as practical and ensure tight, corrosion-free connector contacts.

Usage recommendations

Use this 3 m RG58 BNC-to-PL259 cable for bench connections, temporary installations and short antenna leads where 50 Ω matching is required. For permanent outdoor antenna installations or longer runs, consider cables with lower loss and weatherproof connectors designed for those conditions.
