Coaxial cable Rangeful BNC male to SMA male RG58/U 50 Ω, 5 m

Rangeful coaxial cable BNC male to SMA male RG58/U 50 Ω, 5 m is a 50-ohm transmission cable built on RG58/U geometry with factory-mounted BNC male and SMA male connectors. The cable provides standard RG58 flexibility and characteristic impedance for RF signal transfer over a 5 metre length, combining the quick-connect BNC interface with the compact screw-type SMA plug. It is intended for use where reliable 50 Ω continuity is required between devices with BNC and SMA terminations.

Advantages

The RG58 construction delivers consistent 50 Ω impedance and acceptable insertion loss for short to medium length RF runs. Factory fitted BNC male and SMA male connectors ensure mechanical compatibility and minimise reflection at the connections when properly mated. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for many bench, antenna and test setups while maintaining the flexibility typical of RG58 cables for easy routing.

Suitable for

• Laboratory and test bench RF connections between BNC and SMA equipment
• Antenna feedlines and temporary antenna setups requiring 50 Ω impedance
• Radio, scanner and transceiver interconnects where one end uses BNC and the other SMA
• Measurement equipment linking, signal injection and monitoring with 50 Ω systems

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58/U coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector A: BNC male
• Connector B: SMA male
• Length: 5 m
• Typical use: RF, antenna, test and measurement, general signal connections
• Flexibility: standard RG58 flexibility suitable for routing and bench use

How to use

Connect the BNC male end to the device accepting a BNC female socket and tighten the SMA male by screwing it into the SMA female connector until finger-tight; do not overtighten. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or crush points and keep it clear of high-current power lines to reduce interference. For measurement accuracy, ensure connectors are clean and fully seated; inspect the cable and terminations before use and replace if any damage to the outer jacket or connectors is visible.

Usage recommendations

Use this RG58 BNC male to SMA male cable for short to medium RF runs where 50 Ω continuity is required. For critical high-frequency or low-loss applications consider cables with lower loss or precision connectors; for outdoor or permanent antenna installations use weatherproofing and strain relief at connectors.
