Coaxial cable Rangeful RG58-NM-SM-0.5 N male to SMA male 50 Ω 0.5 m

Rangeful RG58-NM-SM-0.5 is a 0.5 m coaxial cable with an N-type male connector on one end and an SMA male connector on the other, engineered for 50 Ω RF signal transmission. The cable uses RG58-format coaxial construction to provide consistent characteristic impedance for connecting equipment with N and SMA ports. Its short length reduces insertion loss and potential reflections, making it suitable for measurement, bench, and installation environments where compact, reliable RF connections are required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 0.5 m length that minimizes signal attenuation and phase distortion over short runs. Precision N male and SMA male connectors provide secure mechanical fit and stable electrical contact, while the RG58-style coaxial design ensures 50 Ω impedance matching between devices. The construction supports repeatable connections in test setups and field deployments, and the combination of connector types enables straightforward interfacing between equipment with different RF port standards.

Suitable for

• Lab and bench RF testing between N and SMA interfaces
• Connecting antennas, radios and transceivers with mixed connectors
• Short jumper runs in networking or radio installations
• Portable measurement setups and field diagnostics

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Cable type: RG58-style coaxial
• Connector A: N male
• Connector B: SMA male
• Typical use: RF signal transmission, jumper cable

How to use

Connect the N male end to equipment with an N female port and the SMA male end to devices with an SMA female port, ensuring threads are hand-tightened and then given a slight additional turn with a torque wrench if required by the equipment manufacturer. Avoid over-tightening the SMA connector to prevent damage. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a bend radius appropriate for RG58-style coax to preserve impedance and minimize loss. For test measurements, use short, repeatable connection practices and confirm connectors are clean before use.

Usage recommendations

Prefer this 0.5 m jumper when short, low-loss connections are needed between N and SMA interfaces. Inspect connector threads and contact surfaces regularly, avoid exposing the cable to excessive tension or crushing, and store coiled loosely to maintain cable integrity. For critical measurements, verify connection continuity and check for reflections with appropriate RF test equipment.
