Coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 15 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 15 m is a flexible RF cable assembled on RG58 coaxial core with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms and a total length of 15 metres. It features an FME male connector on one end and a PL259 (UHF) connector on the other, intended for use with radio, antenna and communications equipment that require an FME-to-PL259 connection. The construction provides a continuous signal path suitable for low-power RF applications and field installations where a detachable FME-to-PL259 interface is needed.

Advantages

This Rangeful cable offers a standardized RG58 transmission line with 50 Ω impedance, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of amateur radio, vehicle and fixed antenna systems. The FME male and PL259 connectors allow straightforward mating to devices and adapters commonly used in mobile and base station setups. The 15 m length gives extended reach between equipment and antenna while maintaining flexibility for routing and installation in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting mobile radios or transceivers to external antennas where FME-to-PL259 adaptation is required
• Temporary test links and bench testing of RF equipment with UHF/PL259 sockets
• Vehicle installations and portable field setups needing a flexible 15 m RF lead

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector A: FME male
• Connector B: PL259 (UHF) male
• Length: 15 m
• Typical use: low- to medium-power RF signal transmission

How to use

Connect the FME male end to the corresponding FME-fitted socket on the radio or adapter and screw the PL259 connector onto the UHF socket of the antenna or transceiver until secure. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; allow gentle curves that respect the cable's flexibility. For temporary testing, verify continuity and correct polarity before applying transmit power. When installing in vehicles or exposed locations, ensure connectors are protected from moisture and mechanical strain.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid routing alongside power lines or sources of electrical noise. Use proper adapters or grounding where required by your installation, and inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or wear.
