Coaxial cable Rangeful RP‑TNC female to RP‑TNC female RG58/U 50 Ω 1 m

Coaxial cable Rangeful RP‑TNC female to RP‑TNC female RG58/U 50 Ω 1 m is a flexible RF lead terminated with Reverse-Polarity TNC female connectors at both ends. Built on standard RG58/U coaxial construction and specified for 50 ohm systems, this 1 meter cable provides a compact connection for short runs between radio equipment, antennas and test instruments that require RP‑TNC terminations. Its construction balances flexibility and shielding suitable for typical indoor and sheltered outdoor RF routing.

Advantages

This cable offers compatibility with devices using RP‑TNC female interfaces while maintaining the characteristic 50 Ω impedance of RG58/U coax. The short 1 m length reduces insertion loss and minimizes signal attenuation for near‑field connections. The RP‑TNC female terminations provide a secure threaded connection with reversed polarity to match equipment designed for RP‑TNC mating. The RG58/U core delivers standard shielding and dielectric performance commonly expected in RF hobbyist, test and communications setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting radio transceivers and external antennas with RP‑TNC interfaces
• Linking RF test equipment, signal generators and spectrum analyzers over short distances
• Internal cabling in racks, enclosures or portable radio housings where a 1 m lead is sufficient
• Temporary measurement setups and development benches requiring 50 Ω matching

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58/U coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Connector A: RP‑TNC female
• Connector B: RP‑TNC female
• Length: 1 m
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for short runs
• Construction: stranded center conductor with dielectric and braided shield

How to use

Inspect both RP‑TNC female connectors and mating equipment to ensure compatible reverse‑polarity TNC interfaces. Align the threaded RP‑TNC connectors with the mating male RP‑TNC plugs and tighten by hand until secure; avoid over‑torquing to prevent connector damage. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends, tight ties or crushing; maintain bend radii consistent with RG58/U recommendations. For measurement tasks, connect the cable between the signal source and receiver while preserving 50 Ω system continuity and observing proper grounding.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short, indoor or sheltered outdoor RF runs where minimal loss and RP‑TNC compatibility are required. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heavy moisture or mechanical strain. If used in test setups, periodically check connector integrity and replace the lead if the shielding or connectors show signs of wear to maintain reliable 50 Ω performance.
