Unique-Bargains SMA Male to UHF PL-259 Male RG316 Coax Cable .5 ft

SKU CH-1P49-EQQMG

A 50 ohm RG316 coaxial cable with SMA male to UHF PL-259 male connectors, 0.5 ft long, featuring nickel plated bodies and gold plated brass contacts

  • Product typeHI - Antennas, Wires & Fittings
  • 50 ohm impedance ensures clean signal transfer
  • .5 ft RG316 cable keeps runs short for minimal loss
  • Double-shielded construction rejects external interference
  • Nickel-plated connector bodies resist corrosion
  • Gold-plated brass contacts maintain low-resistance connections

What this cable does

This 0.5 ft RG316 coaxial cable connects an SMA male interface to a UHF PL-259 male interface. It is built for 50 ohm RF signal paths where a short, low-loss link is required between those two connector types.

Who should use it and who should not

Technicians and hobbyists needing a ready-made jumper between SMA and PL-259 ports will find the double-shielded RG316 construction convenient. Installations that demand a longer run, a different impedance or alternative connector genders will need a different assembly.

The specification that decides fit

The cable is a 50 ohm RG316 type measuring 0.5 ft end to end with nickel-plated connector bodies and gold-plated brass contacts. Verify that both the impedance and the exact connector pairing match your equipment before ordering.

Questions about this item

What frequency range does the SMA-to-PL-259 cable support with its 50 ohm impedance?

The 50 ohm RG316 coax handles typical HF, VHF and UHF bands used with SMA and UHF connectors; exact limits depend on the connected radio and antenna.

What clearance is needed for the nickel-plated SMA and UHF PL-259 connectors?

Each connector adds roughly 25 mm beyond the .5 ft cable; allow space for the knurled SMA nut and the larger PL-259 body when routing through bulkheads.

How do I attach the cable without damaging the gold-plated brass contacts?

Hand-tighten the SMA nut until snug, then give a light quarter-turn with a 8 mm wrench; over-torquing crushes the centre pin and degrades the 50 ohm match.
