Coaxial cable Rangeful SMA Male to RP-TNC Male RG58/U 50 Ω 5 m

Rangeful 5 m coaxial cable with an SMA male connector on one end and a RP-TNC male connector on the other is built with RG58/U dielectrically specified coax for 50 Ω systems. The cable supports RF signal transmission between devices with SMA and RP-TNC ports and is intended for applications that require a flexible, moderate-loss coaxial jumper of known impedance and length. The construction balances flexibility and shielding appropriate for short-run connections in radio, antenna and test environments.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized 50 Ω impedance path using RG58/U dielectric construction, ensuring impedance matching for compatible RF equipment. Its SMA male and RP-TNC male connectors allow direct mating with many antennas, routers, test instruments and wireless modules. At five meters, the cable offers sufficient reach for most bench and field setups while remaining flexible enough for routing and repositioning. The assembly is suitable for repeated connections and typical handling in lab and installation contexts.

Suitable for

• Antenna extensions and connections
• Laboratory test and measurement setups
• Wireless networking equipment and radio modules
• Short-run RF cabling between instruments and transceivers

Key specifications

• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Cable type: RG58/U dielectric coaxial
• Length: 5 m
• Connector A: SMA male
• Connector B: RP-TNC male (reverse-polarity TNC male)
• Typical use: RF signal transmission at HF/VHF/UHF ranges where RG58 performance is acceptable

How to use

Connect the SMA male end to the SMA-female port of the transmitter, antenna, or measurement device, and attach the RP-TNC male end to the RP-TNC-female receptacle on the corresponding equipment. Ensure connectors are clean and threaded or seated correctly before tightening by hand; do not overtighten SMA or RP-TNC connectors to avoid damaging threads or center conductors. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strong compression points; maintain gentle curves to preserve impedance characteristics. For test measurements, keep the cable as short as practical to reduce insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Use this RG58/U-based cable for short to moderate distance RF connections where flexibility is needed and where the cable’s loss characteristics are acceptable for the operating frequency. Inspect connector integrity before use, avoid exposure to prolonged moisture or mechanical crush, and replace the cable if signs of wear, corrosion, or intermittent connections appear.
