Coaxial cable Rangeful SMA plug to N female, RG58/U 50 Ω, 2 m

Rangeful coaxial cable SMA plug to N female, RG58/U 50 Ω, 2 m is a two-metre RF patch cable assembled on RG58/U coaxial with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. It features an SMA male (plug) connector on one end and an N female connector on the other, intended for connecting equipment with SMA and N interfaces. The cable is designed for short interconnect runs where RG58 flexibility and standard impedance are required, offering reliable signal transmission for antennas, radio transceivers, test instruments and networking devices.

Advantages

The cable combines the compact SMA male interface with the robust N female interface, providing a convenient adapter-like connection without the need for additional adapters. Built on RG58/U dielectric and conductor construction, the cable maintains consistent 50 Ω impedance across common RF frequencies and preserves signal integrity for short-distance links. Its two-metre length balances reach and manageable cable routing while remaining flexible for installations in constrained spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting antennas to radio transceivers with mismatched connector types
• Linking test instruments and measurement equipment to devices with SMA or N ports
• Temporary lab setups and short RF runs in networking or telecommunications racks
• Integration in wireless systems requiring a 50 Ω coaxial connection

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58/U coaxial
• Impedance: 50 ohm
• Length: 2 m
• Connector A: SMA male (plug)
• Connector B: N female
• Typical use: RF signal transmission for VHF/UHF and common microwave bands (short runs)
• Flexibility: standard RG58 bending characteristics suitable for confined routing

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before use. Align the SMA male plug with the SMA jack and engage the threaded coupling carefully to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten—finger-tight plus a small torque with an appropriate wrench is normally sufficient. Thread the N female end onto the mating N male connector and tighten to the recommended torque for N-type connectors. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks, or heavy compression and maintain bend radii consistent with RG58 characteristics. For RF measurements or antenna connections, ensure connectors are clean and mating surfaces are free of debris to preserve low insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid repeated flexing at the connector junctions and secure the cable to reduce mechanical strain. Use this RG58-based cable for short interconnects; for higher-frequency runs or where lower loss is required, consider cables with larger diameter or foam dielectric constructions. Store the cable coiled loosely and protect connector ends with caps when not in use.
