Coaxial cable Rangeful Mini UHF (male) to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 12 m

Flexible coaxial cable Rangeful Mini UHF (male) to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 12 m is a 12-metre RF patch lead built on RG58 coaxial construction with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. It features a Mini UHF (male) connector on one end and a PL259 (UHF male) connector on the other, designed for connecting amateur radio transceivers, scanners and other communication equipment that require UHF-style terminations. The cable assembly provides straightforward plug-in connectivity for both portable field setups and stationary installations.

Advantages

The RG58 construction ensures a balance of flexibility and consistent impedance suitable for VHF and UHF frequency ranges typically used in amateur and scanner applications. The Mini UHF (male) to PL259 UHF termination offers compatible mating with common radio equipment and antenna leads, simplifying hookup without adapters in many setups. A 12 m length gives extended reach between radio units and antennas or between devices in a shack or temporary field deployment.

Suitable for

• Amateur radio transceiver to antenna or antenna tuner connections
• Scanner receivers and monitoring equipment requiring UHF connectors
• Temporary field installations and portable communications setups
• Fixed station cabling where moderate cable length and flexibility are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 12 m
• Connector A: Mini UHF (male)
• Connector B: PL259 UHF (male)
• Construction: flexible coax for ease of routing and handling

How to use

Connect the Mini UHF (male) end to the corresponding mini UHF female socket on your device and screw the PL259 end onto the matching SO-239 or PL259-compatible antenna connector. Ensure connections are hand-tightened to provide stable electrical contact and mechanical support; avoid excessive torque. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and strain, keeping it away from high-power mains wiring and other interference sources. For outdoor runs, protect connectors and exposed cable with appropriate weatherproofing if permanent exposure to the elements is expected.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable where 50 Ω impedance is required for RF performance. Match connectors to avoid adapter use when possible, and inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or loose fittings. For critical or high-power applications, verify insertion loss and VSWR are acceptable for your frequency and power levels before prolonged use.
