Coaxial cable Rangeful PL259 to PL259, 50 Ω RG58, 3 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful PL259 to PL259, 50 Ω RG58, 3 m is a 3-meter RF lead with UHF PL259 male connectors on both ends and an RG58-type coaxial dielectric designed for 50-ohm systems. The cable provides the standard flexibility and diameter of RG58 and is intended to link transceivers, radio equipment, antennas and test instruments that require a 50 Ω feedline. The construction supports typical amateur radio and professional RF setups where a compact, flexible coaxial connection is needed.

Advantages

This coaxial cable combines the common mechanical compatibility of PL259 fittings with the electrical characteristics of RG58, ensuring predictable impedance matching in 50 Ω installations. Its 3 m length offers a balance between reach and manageable signal loss for short runs. The cable’s flexibility allows routing in tight spaces and simple connection or disconnection of radio equipment without specialized tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting HF/VHF/UHF transceivers to antennas for portable or fixed installations
• Linking test equipment such as analyzers and SWR meters to devices under test
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling in amateur radio stations and field operations
• Interfacing external antenna tuners, filters or antenna switches that accept PL259

Key specifications

• Type: RG58 coaxial cable
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector type: PL259 (UHF) male on both ends
• Length: 3 m
• Application: RF signal transmission for radio equipment and test devices

How to use

Ensure both mating connectors and the cable ends are clean and undamaged. Align the PL259 male connectors with the corresponding SO-239 or PL259-compatible female sockets and hand-tighten the coupling nut until secure; avoid excessive force to prevent damaging the connector threads. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, crushing, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture where possible. For test measurements, connect the cable between the measurement instrument and the device under test ensuring impedance consistency across the setup.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep runs as short as practical to reduce insertion loss; inspect connectors periodically for corrosion or loose contacts, and replace the cable if outer jacket damage or degraded signal quality is observed. When used outdoors, consider additional weatherproofing at the connectors.
