This is a ready made RG58 coax patch lead, supplied in a 25 metre length with a PL259 plug already fitted at each end. It is the straightforward choice for a home base setup where the radio sits indoors and the aerial is up on a pole or a rooftop mount, and the run between the two is a long one. Because both plugs come fitted, there is no soldering or trimming to do before the lead goes into service.
- Cable: 25 metre RG58 standard coax
- Connectors: 2 x PL259 plugs fitted
- Configuration: PL259 to PL259 patch lead
Before ordering, check that both your radio or SWR meter and your aerial take the matching socket for a PL259 plug. Measure the actual route the cable will follow, including the drop down the wall and any slack for a drip loop, rather than the straight line distance. Once the aerial is connected, set it up with an SWR meter before running any power through it.
