Coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to FME female RG58/U 50 Ω, 15 m

Flexible coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to FME female RG58/U 50 Ω, 15 m offers a ready-made RF lead for connecting FME-equipped devices and antennas. Constructed on RG58/U transmission line with nominal 50 ohm impedance, the cable provides consistent characteristic impedance over its 15 m length and comes terminated with an FME male connector at one end and an FME female connector at the other. The assembly is intended for signal transmission in amateur radio, mobile and fixed wireless installations, and test setups where a detachable FME connection and standard 50 Ω matching are required.

Advantages

The cable combines the familiar electrical properties of RG58/U (flexibility, stable 50 Ω impedance) with compact FME connectors that allow easy mating with a wide range of antennas, vehicle mounts and radio equipment. Its 15 m length gives extended reach while maintaining low-loss characteristics appropriate for short- to medium-distance RF runs. The cable is factory-terminated, reducing the need for on-site crimping or soldering and ensuring consistent connector fit and signal continuity.

Suitable for

• Connecting FME-equipped antennas to mobile or base radio units
• Temporary or permanent vehicle and rooftop installations
• Laboratory and field test setups requiring 50 Ω terminations
• Amateur radio stations and portable radio modules

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58/U coaxial
• Impedance: 50 Ω nominal
• Connectors: FME male to FME female
• Length: 15 m
• Intended use: RF signal transmission for VHF/UHF and related bands where RG58 performance is suitable
• Construction: flexible core and braided shield suitable for routing in vehicles and installations

How to use

Route the cable between the radio or measurement instrument and the antenna or accessory, avoiding sharp bends and kinks that can stress the jacket or degrade shielding. Hand-tighten the FME connectors to their mating sockets; do not over-tighten. Ensure connector threads and mating surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain good electrical contact. When installing on a vehicle or exposed location, secure the cable with appropriate clamps or ties at intervals to prevent chafing and to reduce mechanical strain on the connector joints.

Usage recommendations

For best RF performance, keep the cable run as short as practical, avoid running parallel to power lines, and inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or looseness. If the installation is outdoors or in a corrosive environment, consider additional sealing at the connector interface and use UV-resistant clips to protect the cable jacket.
