Coaxial adapter cable Rangeful Mini UHF (Male) to PL259 UHF, RG58 50 Ω, 3 m

Rangeful coaxial adapter cable Mini UHF (Male) to PL259 UHF is a 3 m RF lead constructed with RG58 50 Ω coaxial cable. It connects equipment with Mini UHF (also known as Mini-UHF or M-UHF) male interfaces to devices using PL259 UHF connectors, providing a flexible link for signal transfer in amateur radio, scanners and other communication equipment. The cable is intended for general RF use where 50 ohm impedance matching and compact connectors are required.

Advantages

This 3 m RG58 cable offers standard 50 Ω impedance suitable for most VHF/UHF amateur radio and scanner applications. The lightweight, flexible construction allows easy routing and positioning in temporary or permanent setups. Durable connector housings ensure a reliable mechanical connection between Mini UHF male and PL259 UHF interfaces, maintaining signal continuity and minimizing mismatch when used within the cable's intended frequency range.

Suitable for

• Connecting handheld or mobile transceivers with Mini UHF to equipment with PL259 UHF
• Amateur radio stations and antenna feed lines for short runs
• Scanner radios and monitoring setups requiring compact connectors
• Signal testing and temporary RF installations where a 3 m lead is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector A: Mini UHF (male)
• Connector B: PL259 UHF (female thread mating to UHF SO-239)
• Length: 3 m
• Typical use: VHF/UHF RF signal connections
• Construction: flexible jacket for routing in confined spaces

How to use

Ensure both devices are powered off before making connections. Align the Mini UHF male connector with the corresponding Mini UHF socket and push gently until it seats; secure the PL259 UHF connector by threading it onto the mating SO-239 connector until hand-tight. Avoid excessive force on the connectors and prevent sharp bends along the RG58 cable; maintain minimum bend radius to reduce signal degradation. After installation, power up equipment and verify signal levels or SWR as applicable.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for short-distance connections within its intended VHF/UHF frequency range and within the power handling limits of RG58. Avoid outdoor permanent exposure without additional weatherproofing, and inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or mechanical wear. When using near antennas, check SWR to confirm acceptable impedance matching.
