Coaxial cable Rangeful RP‑SMA male to RP‑SMA male RG58 50 Ω, 5 m

Rangeful RP‑SMA male to RP‑SMA male RG58 50 Ω, 5 m is a coaxial cable designed to provide a shielded RF connection between devices with RP‑SMA ports. The cable uses RG58 construction and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms across the 5‑metre length, suitable for short to medium runs in indoor and protected outdoor environments. Both ends terminate in RP‑SMA male connectors, enabling compatible mating with RP‑SMA female antenna sockets commonly found on routers, modems, wireless access points and some test instruments.

Advantages

This 5 m coaxial cable offers consistent 50 Ω impedance for reliable RF signal transmission and reduced mismatch loss. The RG58 dielectric and shield structure deliver basic protection against electromagnetic interference while remaining flexible enough for routing in confined spaces. RP‑SMA male terminations on both ends ensure correct polarity for devices using reverse‑polarity SMA interfaces and simplify direct connections without additional adapters. The cable length balances convenience and signal integrity for typical home, office and testing setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting external antennas to routers, access points and modems with RP‑SMA ports
• Short to medium RF test setups and bench measurements requiring 50 Ω cabling
• Extending antenna placement for improved line‑of‑sight in indoor environments
• Interconnecting RF modules and devices in prototyping or lab environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Impedance: 50 Ω characteristic impedance
• Length: 5 metres
• Terminations: RP‑SMA male connector on both ends
• Construction: shielded cable with flexible outer jacket suitable for routing
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for wireless equipment and test instrumentation

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before use. Align each RP‑SMA male connector with the mating RP‑SMA female socket on your device and hand‑thread until secure; avoid over‑tightening to prevent connector or port damage. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid kinks; maintain gentle curves with a bend radius appropriate for small coaxial cable. When used in testing or measurement setups, place the cable away from strong sources of electrical noise and ensure good contact at both ends to preserve 50 Ω continuity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length as short as practical for your setup, avoid tight bends and repeated flexing at connector interfaces, and store the cable coiled loosely when not in use. Replace the cable if connectors show corrosion, loose fitting, or the cable jacket is damaged.
