Review on CablesOnline PL259 Antenna Cable R U025 by Bim Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Heat shrink instead of overmolded connectors as shown

I have nine of these cables with overmolded connectors. Due to the design of the plugs, before tightening the ferrule, you must push and twist the cable until it snaps into the socket to ensure good contact. The last 25 foot cable I ordered from CablesOnLine came with a heat shrink connector as shown in this review. I couldn't make good contact with this version of the connector. The connector was too short to make firm contact even with the connector ring fully installed. unusable.

Pros
  • Strain relief design for years of use
Cons
  • Out of fashion
