Description

This RG58C/U cable is a flexible, general‑use 50‑ohm coax designed for lab patching, radio interconnects and short antenna feeder runs. A stranded copper inner conductor with solid PE dielectric and a tinned‑copper braid maintain stable impedance and moderate loss, while the black PVC sheath provides easy handling and good flexibility. It terminates readily with common 50‑ohm connectors such as BNC, TNC, N‑type and SMA for use with test gear, transceivers, GPS receivers and RF modules.
