I recently had the opportunity to try out the exgoofit SMA Male to UHF SO239 Female adapter and 12 inch RG58 Coaxial jumper cable pack, and I must say that I’m quite impressed with its performance and quality.
Firstly, let me talk about the build quality. Both the SMA and UHF connectors are made of brass and are gold plated. This not only gives them a premium feel but also ensures reliable connections. The UHF connector’s contacts are further nickel plated, adding an extra layer of durability to the surface.
The cable itself is of the RG58 Coaxial type. The inner conductor is made of tinned pure copper strands, which I found to be more durable than plain copper and perform better in terms of anti-oxidation and heat reduction.
One of the standout features of this cable is its compatibility with a wide range of devices. It works seamlessly with antenna adapters for ham radios, amateur radios, handheld floating marine VHF radios, two-way radios, walkie-talkies, USB RTL SDR receivers, RF Explorers, SWR meters, VNA Vector Network Analyzers, Antenna Analyzers, and Spectrum Analyzers. This versatility makes it a valuable tool in my arsenal.
During my testing, I found the cable to be low loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation across its 12-inch length. This is crucial for accurate readings when using devices such as SWR meters and VNA Vector Network Analyzers.
In summary, the exgoofit SMA Male to UHF SO239 Female adapter and 12 inch RG58 Coaxial jumper cable pack is a well-crafted, versatile tool that has proven its worth in my lab. Its durability, low loss performance, and wide compatibility make it an essential addition to any electronics enthusiast’s toolkit.
