About This Assembly

RG142 Cable

RG-142 is a double-shielded 50-ohm PTFE coaxial cable rated for operation from cryogenic temperatures up to +200°C with a 0.195" outer diameter. Its dual-shield construction provides excellent EMI rejection while the PTFE dielectric ensures stable electrical performance across a wide frequency range. The preferred choice for military, aerospace, and high-power RF applications.

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.

TNC Connector

TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) is the threaded version of BNC, offering improved performance up to 11 GHz and better vibration resistance through its screw coupling. It is commonly used in mobile radio antennas, avionics, and outdoor installations where BNC's bayonet lock would not provide sufficient mechanical security.

Common Applications

This TNC and UHF cable assembly is well suited for high-temperature and high-power military or aerospace RF assemblies. The combination of reliable TNC and 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.
