Specs Summary
About This Assembly
RFC195 Cable
RFC-195 is a budget-friendly 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.195" outer diameter that provides good performance for short-to-medium runs at a lower price than LMR-195. Suitable for antenna jumpers, two-way radio leads, and WiFi access point connections up to 30 feet where cost efficiency is the primary consideration.
UHF Connector
The UHF connector (also known as PL-259 male / SO-239 female) is a large, low-cost RF connector designed in the 1930s for HF and VHF frequencies. Despite its name, its practical usable range is below 300 MHz due to its non-constant impedance design. It remains extremely popular in amateur radio (HF through VHF), CB radio, and marine radio applications.
Common Applications
This UHF cable assembly is well suited for short-to-medium antenna jumpers and budget wireless installations. The combination of reliable UHF connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.
