ER-587 / RG6 UHF PLUG

High-Power Link: UHF Male (PL-259) Connector for RG6

Upgrade your RF distribution with the Connectivity Series. This specialized UHF Male Connector (PL-259) is precision-engineered to accommodate the thicker diameter of RG6 coaxial cables. It is the definitive solution for adapting high-quality, low-loss satellite and CATV cabling for use with radio transceivers, antennas, and laboratory equipment.

Why the UHF Male for RG6 is a Technical Essential:

• Precision-Sized for RG6: Unlike standard PL-259 connectors, this model features a larger internal entry path and ferrule specifically for the thicker dielectric and jacket of RG6 and LMR-295 cables.

• Superior Power Handling: Built to manage high RF power levels, making it ideal for base station transmitters and high-gain antenna systems.

Where to Use It:

• Ham & CB Radio: Use high-shielding RG6 cable for your antenna runs to reduce interference in your radio setup.

• Antenna Projects: Ideal for building DIY antennas that require a sturdy UHF interface but utilize modern RG6 cabling.

• RF Testing: Connect signal generators or frequency counters to systems that are pre-wired with RG6 coaxial cable.

• Mobile Communications: Create durable patch leads for vehicle-mounted radio equipment using quad-shield RG6 for maximum signal protection.

Key Features:

• Threaded Coupling Nut: The 5/8"-24 threading provides a secure, vibration-proof lock for both indoor and outdoor applications.

• Teflon (PTFE) Insulator: Features high-heat resistance, ensuring the connector doesn't melt or deform during soldering or high-wattage transmission.

•  Large Solder Windows: Designed with oversized access points to make soldering the cable's braided shield to the connector body easier and more secure.

Technical Specs:

•  Product Type: UHF Male (PL-259) Connector

• Included: 1x UHF Male Plug, 1x RG6 Reduction Ferrule

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1.  Can I use 75-ohm RG6 for a 50-ohm Radio? Yes, it is common practice for receiving or low-power setups. However, for high-power transmitting, the impedance mismatch may cause a higher SWR. RG6 is often used because of its superior shielding compared to standard RG58.

2. Is this a crimp or solder connector? This is a Solder-Type connector. The center conductor must be soldered into the tip, and the shield is typically soldered through the holes in the side of the connector body for maximum strength.

3. Will this fit on RG59 cable? No. RG59 is thinner than RG6.
