● Dual PL259 Male Configuration: Seamlessly connects two SO-239 (UHF Female) panel mounts, making it perfect for patch bays, antenna switches, transceiver-to-tuner links, and internal equipment wiring.
● Reliable RG58 Coax Core: With a 4.95mm outer diameter, solid copper center conductor, and >95% bare copper braid shielding, RG58 provides an excellent balance of flexibility, durability, and low attenuation for HF/VHF applications.
● Precision Crimp Termination: Our hex-crimp process creates a permanent, gas-tight, vibration-resistant bond between the cable braid and connector body — far superior to solder-only methods for long-term reliability.
● 100% VNA Lab Tested: Every batch is validated using Rohde & Schwarz and Anritsu VNAs to ensure strict impedance matching, low VSWR, and consistent insertion loss across the entire frequency band.
● Gold-Plated Center Pins: Ensures minimal contact resistance and extended mating cycle life, critical for test setups and frequently reconfigured patch panels.
● In-Stock & Ready to Ship: Standard 50cm lengths and other popular sizes are maintained in our in-stock inventory for immediate dispatch, minimizing your project lead times.
The Essential Patch Cable for Every RF Workbench & Ham Shack
The UHF PL259 connector is the undisputed workhorse of HF and VHF communications. Found on virtually every transceiver, antenna tuner, SWR meter, and coaxial switch, the PL259-to-PL259 jumper is one of the most essential cables in any RF installation. Our 50cm RG58 version hits the sweet spot — long enough to bridge adjacent equipment, yet short enough to keep your setup clean and organized.
Why Choose Our RG58 UHF Jumper?
Unlike mass-produced, untested cables from unknown sources, our assemblies are built in a controlled manufacturing environment by senior RF engineers with over 20 years of experience. Every cable undergoes hex-crimp termination using precision-calibrated tooling, followed by individual VNA testing on Rohde & Schwarz and Anritsu equipment. This means you receive a cable with verified 50 Ohm impedance, low VSWR, and reliable shielding — not a gamble.
Built for Real-World Demands
The RG58 cable features a flexible PVC jacket that routes easily through cable trays, behind equipment racks, and inside enclosures. The bare copper braid provides >95% shielding effectiveness, protecting your signals from external EMI/RFI interference. Whether you're wiring a competition contest station, a marine VHF system, or an industrial telemetry link, this cable delivers consistent performance.
● Amateur Radio Stations: Patching transceivers to antenna tuners, linear amplifiers, SWR meters, and coaxial switches.
● RF Patch Panels: Creating organized, labeled interconnections between SO-239 bulkhead connectors.
● Test & Measurement: Short jumpers for connecting signal sources to spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and dummy loads.
● Marine Communications: Interconnecting VHF radios, AIS transponders, and antenna splitters below deck.
● Industrial Telemetry: Bridging sensors, data loggers, and wireless modules in SCADA and M2M systems.
● Antenna Systems: Internal wiring for antenna phasing harnesses, balun connections, and matching networks.
● Broadcast & Studio: Short-run audio and RF interconnects in transmission racks.

Q1: What is the maximum power rating for this RG58 cable?
A: RG58 is rated for moderate power levels — typically up to 300W at HF frequencies (30MHz), decreasing at higher frequencies. For high-power amplifiers (>500W) or long outdoor runs, we recommend upgrading to RG213 or LMR-400.
Q2: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
A: Standard RG58 with PVC jacket is designed for indoor use. For outdoor or UV-exposed installations, we offer versions with UV-resistant PE jackets and IP67 weatherproofing boots.
Q3: Can I use this to connect my transceiver to an antenna?
A: Yes, for short runs (under 3 meters) at HF/VHF frequencies. For longer runs or UHF applications, we recommend lower-loss cables like LMR-195 or LMR-400 to minimize signal attenuation.
Q4: How fast can I get a sample?
A: Because we keep RG58 cable and PL259 connectors in stock, we can assemble and ship standard 50cm samples within 3 business days.
Q5: Do you provide test reports with orders?
A: Yes. We can provide VSWR and insertion loss test reports generated by our Rohde & Schwarz and Anritsu VNAs for bulk orders upon request.
Q6: What is the difference between your crimp connectors and cheap solder-only versions?
A: Our hex-crimp connectors create a uniform, gas-tight mechanical bond that is highly resistant to vibration, thermal cycling, and pull-force. Solder-only connectors are prone to cold joints and can fail under mechanical stress.
