Coaxial cable 50Ω Rangeful SMA male to PL259 UHF RG58/U 10 m

Rangeful 10-meter coaxial cable with RG58/U conductor and 50 Ω characteristic impedance connects devices fitted with SMA (male) and PL259 UHF interfaces. The cable is intended for RF signal transmission over short to moderate distances, offering a standardized 50 Ω line suitable for amateur radio stations, test instruments and temporary antenna connections. The single 10 m length simplifies routing between equipment without splices and maintains compatibility with common SMA and UHF connector types.

Advantages

The RG58/U dielectric and conductor construction delivers consistent 50 Ω impedance and predictable signal behaviour at VHF and UHF frequencies. Factory-terminated SMA male and PL259 UHF connectors provide ready-to-use connections without soldering or field termination. The 10 m length balances reach and loss for many station setups while remaining flexible enough for indoor and portable use. Durable outer jacket protects the cable from mechanical wear during handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Amateur (ham) radio transceivers and external antenna feeds
• Test and measurement equipment with SMA or UHF/PL259 ports
• Short-run antenna connections and temporary field setups
• Signal routing between RF modules, preamplifiers and coaxial adapters

Key specifications

• Cable type: RG58/U coaxial
• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
• Length: 10 m
• Connector A: SMA male
• Connector B: UHF PL259 (male)
• Typical frequency range: VHF/UHF suitable (dependent on system loss requirements)
• Outer jacket: flexible protective sheath for indoor and portable use

How to use

Connect the SMA male end to the device with an SMA female socket and the PL259 end to equipment or antenna systems with a UHF female connector. Ensure connectors are threaded and seated gently to avoid cross-threading; hand-tighten to secure the connection and avoid excessive torque. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid tight coils that increase insertion loss; maintain gentle bends with a radius larger than the cable diameter. For best RF performance, keep the cable length as short as practical and avoid routing alongside noisy power lines or strong RF sources.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors before use for dust or debris and clean with appropriate non-abrasive tools. If indoor/outdoor exposure is expected, protect connector junctions from moisture with suitable sealing methods. For permanent outdoor installations or critical low-loss paths, consider using lower-loss coaxial types or bulkhead connectors designed for long-term environmental exposure.
