RG58A/U COAX CABLE 3 foot Jumper for CB / Ham Radio - Workman CX-3-PL-PL -Made in the USA

What can one say about a three foot coax jumper -- pretty much it either works or it doesnt -- this one does.

Connected to my radio and the SWR meter just fine (got a SWR of less then 1.1), Im grabbing a couple more to build a poor mans GMRS repeater with a two hand helds and a RPT-2K Two-Way Relay, Ill update again after I hook that up UPDATE: Dropping two-stars from my original review after getting the two new new cables, both cables had issues with the threaded collar either being crooked or missing a spacer (to long), or the rubber boot.. Overall just sloppy assembly.

It is an important part of the test gear of my transceiver, if it fails my P.A. will be damaged.

a lot stiffer than expected , i had to get 90 degrees fittings to make work because of my inexperience

works and looks well constructed

It worked acceptably well for three months of occasional use as a patch cable when I needed an SWR meter in line. But despite careful handling something internal broke and now its only a partial connection. I have replaced this with much higher quality 3 coax and have never had a problem. Only worth the trouble if a) you never touch or move it after installation and, b) you must spend the least amount possible. I wont put my radios at risk of damage with cheap coax.

this product sucks. the pl259 connectors are of poor quality 1. ive never seen a screw portion of the connector sit so crooked. 2. the soldering of the center connector looks like a toddler did it. when i first saw it, i verified with a multi-meter that their wasnt a short. 3. 1st time i used it, an antenna that i thought was pretty good showed me an swr much higher than i expected. it showed almost 2:1, and i expected 1.2:1 4. i then put the coax on an antenna analyzer with an 8 ohm dummy load. as i scanned through the frequencies, the analyzer showed swr of 1.6:1 up to 2:1. with any other coax that dummy load is 1.0:1 on every frequency. . not sure what kind of coax this is, because there are no markings on it. Im considering cutting a connector off and see if this wire is even coax.

I needed a smaller cord to plug in my SWR meter and this was perfect just zip tied the back of it and talked it away , this cable is a jumper for the swr not for the antenna I totally would say I give this a thumbs up

Wire was soldered to connectors on both ends and cable works well with SWR meter.
