CableWholesaleRG58/AU Coaxial Cable w/BNC Connectors, Black, BNC Male to Male, Copper Stranded Center Conductor, 6 Foot BNC Cable

This is an average quality RG58 cable. It's reasonably flexible. The ends of it are of average quality. I used it in an RF project at about a hundred megahertz bandwidth and didn't experience any issues. For an inexpensive cable, it seems like a reasonable deal. If you want a really good cable, then look for a Pomona RG58C/U. It'll be more flexible with better strain reliefs.

Been 'doing' electronics as a hobby and a professional for over 60 years.During the past year I completely renovated my home workbench and added quite a bit of test equipment and needed some coax cables with BNC connectors. Because of the price of quality cables, in years past I tended to "roll my own". Yes, I DO know how to properly put a BNC connector on a coax cable, but have always hated the task, and good factory made cables like Pomona were usually out of my price range.Well, I was ordering some other items from Amazon and ran across the ad for these cables. They had good reviews and seemed to be of good quality so I ordered 6 of them.They arrived quickly and I put them to some rigorous testing. Physical inspection of the cables showed the connectors to be of good quality and the cable jackets and connector boots ditto. Of course I was unable to determine inner wire and insulation quality without doing some 'destructive' testingWith my modest test equipment I tested for "Loss", it was unmeasureable between <1KHz & 150MHz (the limits of my 3 signal generators). I then tested a couple of them at 100Watts by inserting them between my Icom IC-7200 transceiver and a dummy load. They handled that power OK and the SWR (return loss) remained 1:1 with or without the cables connected. While NOT lab quality testing, I feel that it proves the cables are of above average quality for a (relatively) inexpensive product. More than adequate for any hobbyist or light duty professional use!Bottom line. Good quality cables that should hold up well, well worth the price.

I was afraid the cable would be too stiff for the application I had in mind but it was perfect. Looks to be a good quality cable and should last a long time.

Seems to be fairly good quality. Price was definitely right. So far, this cable is doing the job for me in an indoor application. I'm not sure I'd trust it out in the weather though.

These worked as well as 'specialty' ones selling for tens of dollars more. I was able to lower or costs in the mill by using these, but an ungrateful management let me go and then wondered why I was reticent to turn them on to all the low-cost connections I had made through my own efforts. That's what you get dealing with a fly-by-night, hinky operation, I guess. Live and Learn

Check your product carefully! After using these cables for a few months I noticed that they did not work well as radio transmission cables. I eventually bought an antenna analyzer to check the characteristics of some Ham radio antennas and used it to check these cables. Their impedance characteristics were awful. I then looked closely at the cable (which I should have done when I received them) and noticed that the cable was actually RG59 not RG58 as described. What is the difference? RG58 is 50 ohms impedance and RG59 is 75 ohms impedance. As an analogy think of replacing one tire on your car with one that is 50% bigger and imagine the problems. By the time that I noticed the problem it was too late to do anything about it.

I bought this cable to connect various antennas to a portable field strength meter/receiver I use for hunting radio frequency interference. I wanted something nice and flexible. This definitely is, thanks to being RG-58A/U (stranded). I uncoiled it from the packaging, ran my hand along the length of it once to smooth it out and it was nice and straight... none of the "attitude" and retention of packaged shape that so many cables display. Nice! Just what I wanted. The quality seems good so far. This cable will see rough service in my application, but at this price when it wears out I will just replace it.

These are very good for RF work. < 0.4 db loss @ 1Ghz and < 1.1 db @ 2Ghz .Real RG-58A/U cables bend a little easier, and these are pretty stiff.Still pretty good quality and a very good price.

Rien à dire tout fonctionne très bien.
