About This Assembly
RG58 Cable
RG-58 is a classic flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable with a 0.195" outer diameter, offering an excellent balance of flexibility and performance at a low cost. Its braided shield provides good EMI rejection and its thin profile makes it easy to route through tight spaces. Common applications include amateur radio, CB radio, networking equipment connections, and general-purpose RF jumpers up to 25 feet.
SMA Connector
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
Common Applications
This SMA cable assembly is well suited for amateur radio, CB radio, and general-purpose RF patch cables. The combination of reliable SMA 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.
