RG58
RG58 COAXIAL CABLE / 50 Ω
The RG58 is a flexible and favourable coaxial cable for many applications (75Ω see RG59). This line complies with the UL-Standard MIL C 17.
RG58: (Sheath colour: black) 50 Ω, Temperature range: -30°C bis +70°C
| RG 58 C/U COAXIAL CABLE | MATERIAL | DIAMETER |
|---|---|---|
| INNER CONDUCTOR | Copper stranded wire, tinned | Ø 0.90 mm |
| DIELECTRIC | PE | Ø 2.95 mm |
| CABLE SCREEN | Tinned copper braiding | Ø 3.50 mm |
| CABLE SHEATH | PVC, black | Ø 5.00 mm |
Difference RG58 to standard coaxial cable:
The RG58 is a 4.85 mm thick, favourable coaxial radio frequency cable.
Single shielded and suitable for most applications, e.g. measuring lines and antennas.
The conductor is isolated by the dielectirc medium and is in the centre of the cable. The gemoetry must be very accurate and precise. When a coaxial cable is bent with a smaller bending radius than permitted, the electrical values won’t be met anymore and the cable is no longer suitable for certain applications.
The following connectors are recommended:
BNC, TNC, RP-TNC, N, UHF, Mini-UHF, RP-SMA, SMA, Lemo S1 et al.
