Coaxial cable Rangeful Mini UHF (Male) to RG58, 50 Ω, 1 m

Rangeful Mini UHF (Male) to RG58 coaxial cable, 50 Ω, 1 m is a compact RF patch lead designed to provide a standardized 50 ohm connection between equipment featuring a Mini UHF (male) interface and devices or assemblies using RG58 coaxial cable. The cable combines a Mini UHF male connector at one end with a 1 meter length of RG58 dielectric-terminated coax, intended for short interconnections in radio equipment, antenna feeds, measurement setups and amateur radio applications where space is limited and a reliable impedance match is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact Mini UHF male termination that saves panel space and reduces connector bulk compared with larger UHF types. Its RG58 construction maintains consistent 50 Ω characteristic impedance for predictable signal transfer across HF and VHF ranges. The 1 meter length provides flexibility for lab benches, portable rigs and fixed installations while minimizing excess cable loss. The build emphasizes a straightforward single-cable solution for linking test instruments, transceivers and antennas without the need for adapters or custom assemblies.

Suitable for

• Connecting amateur radio transceivers to antennas or preamplifiers
• Temporary and bench RF test setups requiring a 50 Ω link
• Portable radio stations and field communication equipment
• Replacing short patch leads between antenna connectors and feedlines

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 ohm nominal
• Connector type (one end): Mini UHF (male)
• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Length: 1 meter
• Frequency suitability: HF and VHF ranges (typical for RG58)
• Construction: single-core center conductor with dielectric and braided shield

How to use

Align the Mini UHF male connector with the mating chassis or cable connector and screw or push into place according to the connector’s mechanical coupling method, ensuring a secure and torque-appropriate engagement without over-tightening. Route the RG58 cable gently to avoid sharp bends or kinks that can affect impedance and signal loss. When connecting to measurement instruments, ensure all equipment is powered down or set to appropriate safe states to avoid damage from RF or DC presence, then verify continuity and expected signal levels after installation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable alongside high-current conductors or noisy digital lines to reduce interference. Use strain relief at connection points if the cable will be moved frequently, and inspect connectors for corrosion or wear before critical use. For higher-frequency or longer-distance applications, consider using a cable type with lower loss than RG58.
