Coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 20 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful FME male to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 20 m is a flexible RF feedline built on RG58 conductor with characteristic impedance 50 ohm and a length of 20 meters. The cable features an FME male connector on one end and a PL259 UHF connector on the other, allowing connection between devices and antennas that use these common radio interfaces. It is intended for radio-frequency signal transmission in amateur radio, mobile radio and antenna installation scenarios where a medium-length, standard-impedance coaxial cable is required.

Advantages

The RG58 construction provides a balance of flexibility and electrical performance suitable for routing in equipment racks, vehicles and temporary setups. The FME male and PL259 UHF terminations enable direct mating with many handheld transceivers, mobile tuners and base antennas without the need for adapters in compatible systems. With 50 ohm impedance maintained along the run, the cable supports consistent impedance matching for RF systems that require this standard, reducing reflections and signal loss when used within its frequency and power limits.

Suitable for

• Amateur radio transceivers and base stations
• Mobile radio installations in vehicles
• Antenna connections for short to medium runs
• Temporary or field radio setups and portable stations

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial conductor
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: FME male on one end, PL259 UHF on the other
• Suitable applications: RF and radio-frequency signal transmission
• Flexibility: designed for routing in tight spaces and mobile use

How to use

Inspect both connector ends and mating ports to ensure they are clean and free from debris before making connections. Hand-tighten the PL259 UHF connector to the mating SO-239 or PL socket until secure; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to threads. Push the FME male connector onto the corresponding female FME jack until it seats firmly. Maintain gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks along the 20 m run; secure the cable with suitable clips or ties to prevent strain on connectors. For best RF performance, keep the cable run as direct as practical and avoid routing alongside high-current power lines or large metal structures that may cause interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this 50 Ω RG58 coaxial cable within typical amateur and mobile radio power and frequency ranges; for higher power or higher-frequency applications consider cables with lower loss or higher power ratings. Protect connectors from moisture and mechanical stress with appropriate weatherproofing and strain relief when installed outdoors or in vehicles.
