Coaxial cable Rangeful RP-TNC Female to RP-TNC Female RG58 50 Ω 5 m

Rangeful RP-TNC Female to RP-TNC Female RG58 50 Ω 5 m is a 5-meter coaxial cable designed for 50 ohm RF connections. The cable uses RG58 construction and carries RP-TNC female connectors on both ends, providing a straightforward link between devices with RP-TNC ports such as antennas, Wi‑Fi routers, RF radios, and measurement instruments. The flexible design supports short-to-medium runs while maintaining signal integrity for typical wireless and RF test applications.

Advantages

The RG58 conductor and dielectric are matched for 50 Ω systems, ensuring consistent impedance and reduced reflections in RF paths. RP-TNC female connectors on both ends offer secure threaded mating with reverse-polarity TNC interfaces while keeping connector polarity consistent across connected equipment. The 5 m length balances reach and signal retention for installations where a longer patch lead is required without excessive attenuation. The cable's flexibility simplifies routing in confined spaces and when adjusting antenna placement.

Suitable for

• Connecting external antennas to routers, access points, or gateways with RP-TNC ports
• RF test setups and lab equipment that require 50 Ω coax leads
• Portable radio and repeater installations with RP-TNC interfaces
• Temporary or permanent antenna extensions in short-to-medium runs

Key specifications

• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Cable type: RG58 coaxial
• Connector type (both ends): RP-TNC female
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: braided shield (typical for RG58 construction)
• Flexibility: suitable for routing in confined spaces and repeated handling

How to use

Identify the RP-TNC ports on the devices to be connected and ensure both devices use reverse‑polarity TNC interfaces. Align the RP-TNC female connectors with the mating male RP‑TNC threads, carefully engage the threaded coupling and tighten by hand until snug—avoid over-tightening with tools to prevent connector damage. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and keep it away from strong sources of electrical noise; secure with cable ties if needed. For test and measurement use, connect one end to the instrument and the other to the device under test, confirming stable coupling before taking measurements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length as short as practical for the application to reduce insertion loss. Inspect connectors for debris before mating and avoid repeated forceful twisting. When used outdoors or in humid conditions, consider additional protection at connector junctions to prevent moisture ingress.
