Review on RG58A/U Coax Cable 3ft Jumper: CB/Ham Radio Connector - Workman CX-3-PL-PL, Made in USA by Johnathan Delgado

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very poor quality, good for CB and radio equipment

This product sucks. low quality pl259 connectors1. I've never seen the screw part of the plug sit so crooked.2. The middle connector soldering looks like it was done by a toddler. When I first saw this, I checked with a multimeter that it wasn't a short.3. When I first used it the antenna gave me a much higher SWR than I expected, which I thought was pretty good. He showed almost 2:1 and I expected 1.2:14. Then I put the coax cable with a dummy load of 8 ohms on the antenna analyzer. When scanning frequencies, the analyzer showed an SWR from 1.6:1 to 2:1. with every other coaxial cable, this dummy load is 1.0:1 at each frequency. .not sure what "coaxial cable" it is as there is no marking on it. I'm considering cutting off the connector and seeing if the cable is coaxial.

Pros
  • Robust workmanship
Cons
  • Easily repairable
