About This Assembly
RFC240 ULTRA FLEX Cable
RFC-240-UltraFlex is the flexible version of RFC-240, combining low-loss 0.240" performance with improved bendability for easier installation. Ideal for mobile radio setups, vehicle antenna mounts, and congested equipment areas where a rigid cable would be impractical.
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 mobile radio setups and flexible medium-length antenna connections. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable hand-assembled in the USA?
Yes. Every CoaxRF cable assembly is hand-terminated and continuity tested at our US facility before shipping. We do not drop-ship pre-made cables from overseas — each cable is built to order.
Can I order a different length than 1 ft?
Yes. This page is for the 1 ft assembly. Use the length buttons above to select a different standard length, or use the Cable Builder for any custom length.
How much signal loss will I see with this 1 ft cable?
At 1800 MHz, RFC240 ULTRA FLEX loses approximately 11.7 dB per 100 ft. This 1 ft assembly will have roughly 0.12 dB of insertion loss at that frequency. See the signal loss table for all frequency points.
What is the maximum frequency for this assembly?
This assembly is rated DC – 300 MHz. The effective frequency limit is set by the lowest-rated component — either the cable or one of the connectors. Both SO239 UHF Female and SO239 UHF Female connectors must be within spec at your target frequency.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. Custom-length cables are accepted as long as they are in original condition. Contact us and we will provide a prepaid return label at no charge.
