Coaxial cable Rangeful Mini UHF Male to PL259 UHF RG58 50Ω, 5 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful Mini UHF Male to PL259 UHF RG58 50Ω, 5 m is a flexible RF cable designed for 50 ohm systems. Built on RG58 coaxial construction, this 5 m cable features a Mini UHF (male) connector on one end and a PL259 UHF connector on the other, providing a compact interface for amateur radio, CB, VHF/UHF antennas and other RF equipment requiring standard 50 Ω matching. The cable balances flexibility for routing with consistent characteristic impedance to support reliable signal transfer across short to medium runs.

Advantages

The cable offers compatibility with common UHF connector types and maintains 50 ohm impedance throughout the length to minimise reflections and signal loss in typical HF, VHF and UHF applications. Its RG58 construction provides a balance of flexibility and mechanical robustness suitable for indoor and vehicle installations. The mating combination of a Mini UHF male and PL259 UHF connector allows connection between devices and antennas with differing UHF connector styles without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Amateur (ham) radio transceivers and transceiving setups
• CB radio installations and mobile communications
• VHF and UHF antenna connections
• General RF signal transmission where 50 Ω matching is required
• Short to medium length patch connections between equipment

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 5 m
• Connector A: Mini UHF (male)
• Connector B: PL259 UHF
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for HF/VHF/UHF bands

How to use

Before connecting, ensure both devices are powered down to avoid accidental RF exposure or equipment damage. Align the Mini UHF male connector with the corresponding socket and screw the PL259 connector onto the mating UHF female thread until hand-tight; avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to connector bodies. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points — maintain a gentle bend radius consistent with RG58 construction. After connection, verify SWR or signal levels as appropriate for the application to confirm proper matching and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this RG58 5 m cable for indoor, mobile, and temporary antenna runs. For permanent outdoor installations or runs longer than a few meters, consider cables with lower attenuation and outdoor-rated jackets. Periodically inspect connectors for corrosion or loose fittings and replace the cable if physical damage or degraded signal performance is observed.
