Coaxial cable Rangeful RG58-PL-PL-20 50 Ω, 20 m, PL-259 to PL-259

Coaxial cable Rangeful RG58-PL-PL-20 is a 20-metre RF cable with 50 Ω impedance and PL-259 (UHF) male connectors on both ends. It is built to carry VHF and UHF signals between transceivers, antennas and other RF equipment. The cable uses the RG58 form factor, offering a balance of flexibility and consistent characteristic impedance for short to moderate runs in amateur radio, test setups and temporary outdoor connections.

Advantages

The cable combines a standard RG58 conductor geometry with durable PL-259 terminations to provide predictable signal transfer and low reflection across typical VHF/UHF frequencies. Its 20-metre length reduces the need for additional connectors or adapters in many installations, while the flexible jacket simplifies routing in tight spaces. The construction supports indoor use and short-term outdoor deployments when properly secured, and the familiar PL-259 connectors ensure compatibility with most amateur radio transceivers, tuners and antenna connectors.

Suitable for

• Connecting amateur radio transceivers to antennas at VHF/UHF frequencies
• Temporary or field radio setups and portable stations
• Short RF runs between equipment in a shack or test bench
• Connecting antenna tuners, SWR meters and adapters in hobbyist installations

Key specifications

• Nominal impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 20 m
• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Connector type: PL-259 (UHF) male to PL-259 (UHF) male
• Frequency range: suitable for VHF and UHF applications
• Construction: flexible jacket suitable for indoor and short-term outdoor use

How to use

Inspect both PL-259 connectors and the cable jacket for visible damage before installation. Screw the PL-259 connectors firmly into the corresponding SO-239 or PL-259 female sockets on transceivers, tuners or antennas, ensuring good mechanical contact without overtightening. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and avoid running parallel to mains power cables to reduce interference. For permanent outdoor installations, protect the cable and connectors from prolonged exposure to weather and UV by using appropriate sealing techniques and support fixtures.

Usage recommendations

For optimal RF performance, keep the cable length as short as practical for the installation and confirm proper impedance matching at the operating frequency. Regularly check connector tightness and cable condition; replace the cable if the jacket is cracked or connectors are corroded. When used outdoors, apply weatherproofing at connector junctions and secure the cable to prevent strain on the terminations.
