Jumper Cable

[JASII]

I am looking for a jumper cable with a BNC connector on one end and an SO-239 on the other. Can anybody recommend any sources for this that don't charge an arm and a leg?

Chinese eBay sellers are the best deal. UHF SO239 female PL259 Jack to BNC male crimp RG58 cable jumper pigtail 20inch | eBay

But there's usually a long shipping time..

For a bit more you can get them from US sources as well. BNC male to PL-259 SO239 Female Jack jumper pigtail Cable RG58 20" MADE IN USA | eBay

Look on Amazon for a PIGTAIL cable, jumper cables are for car batteries.
There are several cable shops here in the US that either have them on hand or will make them up. I don't recall the name but used one shop in NC(?) who were fast and reasonable, top quality. You won't get a decent cable for two bucks. Probably not even for ten, before shipping.

Pigtail Cable

And that is exactly why I posted here. I want to get good quality at a reasonable price. I will try to look for the place in NC.

Don't mess with the Chinese stuff..order a quality jumper from ABR industries or Cable Xperts, HRO, DX Engineering are good online sources.

Highly Recommend!

For what it's worth, this guy is the ONLY guy I deal with. Very quick shipper and excellent quality cables and connectors. I have practically all my shack wired up with this seller's cables.

Here's one:

I think Chinese imported, I haven't put it through much use but it seems OK. At that price...you know.

I have a small pouch of "can make anything into anything mainly UHF" widgets and this is in there. The one from the east coast (NC?) was for a cellular pigtail actually, and I just can't find anything with their name on it.

That's a rather reasonable price, especially if they are such high quality.

The only recommendation I have is look around for one that is made from LMR-195 style coax. Same size and flexibility as RG-58 but less loss.

The amazon link is 'supposedly' RG-316 which is very thin and flexible. Good for an HT but it's lots of extra loss if you don't need that much flex.

Good for jumpers!

Well, seeing as I only use 2'-3' jumpers, the RG-58 cable loss is almost not even worth thinking about for my use.
Jeremy, how much length do you need?

I second MPD Digital - I have used them before many times. They have a store on Ebay. If they don't have what you are looking for send them a message and tell them what brand cable (I always use Times Microwave), what type of cable and what connectors and they will quote you a price and if you want it they will create an Ebay listing just for you to purchase it and custom make the cable(s).

MPDDigital is also on Amazon, with some of their stuff having Prime Shipping.

I'll second the recommendation for 911az84 on eBay.
