Coaxial cable Rangeful RG58 PL259 to PL259 50 Ω 2 m

Rangeful RG58 PL259 to PL259 50 Ω 2 m is a two-metre coaxial jumper cable designed for RF signal transmission and equipment interconnection. It features PL259 male connectors on both ends and a 50 ohm impedance suitable for amateur radio, antenna leads and short connection runs. The cable’s flexible RG58 construction provides consistent shielding and predictable performance over its 2 m length, making it practical for portable setups and bench use.

Advantages

The cable combines standard RG58 construction with PL259 connectors to provide reliable mechanical connections and stable RF characteristics at VHF and UHF frequencies. Its 50 ohm impedance matches common transceivers and antennas to minimise reflections. The two-metre length offers a balance between reach and minimal signal loss for short runs, while the flexible jacket eases routing in tight spaces and portable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers to antennas or antenna tuners in amateur radio setups
• Short jumper runs between radio equipment, transceivers, and external modules
• Portable field operations and temporary station arrangements
• VHF/UHF signal testing and bench work requiring standard 50 Ω interfaces

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Connector type: PL259 male on both ends
• Impedance: 50 ohm
• Length: 2 m
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for VHF/UHF ranges and general-purpose 50 Ω links
• Construction: flexible jacket with shielded conductor for consistent performance

How to use

Align the PL259 male connectors with the corresponding SO-239 or PL259-fitted sockets on equipment, turn the connector body to engage the threads and hand-tighten until secure. Avoid excessive torque when fastening to prevent damage to connector threads. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and avoid tight kinks; maintain gentle curves to preserve the cable’s impedance and shielding effectiveness. For best results, keep the cable length as short as practical for the installation to reduce insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors before use to ensure they are free of debris or corrosion. For outdoor or permanent installations consider additional environmental protection such as sealing tape or weatherproof boots at connector joints. When testing or measuring, use appropriate low-reflection terminations and ensure connections are tight to maintain consistent RF performance.
