electrosmart RG58 Black Coax/Coaxial Cable - Multi-Strand - Impedance: 50 Ohm - Length 50m

For the price works as it should,idea for antenna building Ok to use for HF but wouldnt recommend for uhf or VHF. Not the best but not the worst does the job as intended. And best value for ya buck.

Great value thanks

For for my needs (just experimenting with antennas). Didn't come on a drum. It was just looped and in a plastic bag. Would have preferred a box at least to protect it in the post but it looks to have arrived intact so that's ok. Other than that all seems good with it so far.

I have been using RG58 cable for the last 40 years plus in a professional position and never had a cable as poor as this, I should have realised looking at the picture of the cable the braid looks thin and flimsy, but I trusted Eletrosmart, big mistake. When soldering the centre core discolours and burns, The joint between the pin on a PL259/6 plug and the centre core does not bond. I was able to pull back the cable through the pin after soldering!! The braid is thin and brittle. I mainly use this nowadays for making patch leads to use on transceivers. The 1st two I made played havoc with the SWR and were removed. I replaced with some old cable I purchased some 5/6 years ago using the same PL259/6 plugs as on the new cable. This time no problems, all soldered 100%. This cable is in my opinion very low grade and not fit for purpose. I contacted Electrosmart giving them chance to explain before leaving feedback who apologised for the problem saying: "I've soldered the cable without any trouble, but I would recommend using no more than a 25W Iron for best results and soldering at high temp will cause issues. It is fairly low cost cable but will do the job. We do stock a higher spec RG58 but it is over twice the price". I am now left with 50mts of useless RG58 cable and out of pocket financially. It looks like the supplier is not prepared to compensate. I will not use this cable and risk damaging my £1500 worth of radios and accessories. Be warned, be careful. Very upset and cheated P.

Great product for my uses

This is not like RG58 i have had in the past, the braid (outer screening) is very thin compared with the last reel of RG58 I have used

Nice to work with and does the job at a good price

Good cable - very flexible. Ideal for the short antenna runs that I need to do, and for making the Pawsey stubs for matching.

Tut was es soll Für kW Länge ca 12 m Keine Nachteile bemerkt

Bonjour. Je suis content de ce produit, et le prix est honnête. Je co voulais l'utiliser avant de donner un avis favorable ou défavorable. Vous pouvez acheter de produit en toute confiance, et le vendeur est au top. Bien cordialement.

Very "lossy:. You gat what you pay for. 100 watts in at one end and not a lot out of the other end. OK for short runs.

Ok

Sehr gute Qualität schnelle Lieferung perfekte Verpackung. Danke
