2-Pack PL-259 Coax Cable Adapter - UHF Female to Female Connector Plug

They work, what else van uoi say and the best price I could find

I am old school. A UHF female to UHF female adaptor that 2 male ended (PL-259 connector) cables can plug into as an in-line splice is actually numbered and identified as a "PL-258". But, allowing for that mistake in the listing, these five connectors are really high quality, Chinese sourced items. What's in the photo is what you get...the small box delivered in a padded envelope. The price isn't bad either with my Prime 2 day shipping for free. I'd pay more in total if I did Priority Mail shipping of the same number of similar adaptors @ 89 cents each from another source in AZ. I just used up my last PL-258's (silver plated, Amphenol manufactured, USA sourced piece) fixing coax runs at my IL (alternate) residence. Why did they need to be spliced? Two coax runs tacked to my chimney had fallen off due to UV cracking of the coax tack down holders (nail and plastic types), and met a bad end with a roto-tiller this past summer. The other two runs were overtly snipped with diagonal cutters by the Comcast Internet installer in the basement and where the coax exited the house. (Those guys don't seem to like other "mystery" coax the diameter of their own RG-6, and my son who was manning the fort for a few months didn't watch the guy carefully. I still don't get it...my RG-8X was gray jacketed. Cable TV RG-6 is always black for better UV resistance.) So I used up all of my PL-258 spares in the repair job and needed more. I'd do it again the same way in a pinch. Otherwise, I'd buy them for a buck apiece at a hamfest. Just remember to use a lot of electrical tap or the Coax-Seal stuff to completely encase the splice. PL-259's and 258's are not waterproof. Rain will impinge the splice if it's not sealed. Rain impinging the inside of coax is "bad juju"...it will blacken the coax braid and turn the copper a blackish color. This will make the coax very lossy and necessitate replacing the entire run...which is exactly what a splice wants to avoid.

Nice quality insulation and gold plated center conductor. I've had the first batch I got in service for years, inside and outside, with no problems.

These will serve the purpose in my Ham Radio Shack...you always end up needing one when you are working with antenna systems. Used them setting up a new coaxial switch. Did a great job and should last a long time.

The connectors arrived on time, as shown, neatly packaged, with no shipping damage. Appear to be well made, but I have not tried them yet with any coax connectors.

Good

Works as intended obviously but must have been shipped ahead of schedule and got it a day early, which was a nice surprise since I really needed the part. Great seller.

great product

Parfait pour mes besoin merci
