Wilson Electronics 955822 20 ft RG58 Coax Cable Assembly (N-Male to SMA-Male)

The 955822 is Wilson Electronics' 20 ft RG58 assembly. Wilson describes it as 20 feet of 50 Ohm, low-loss foam, black RG58 coax, N-Male to SMA-Male. It is listed for use with amplifiers, antennas, splitters and taps.

The value of this cable is in its connectors. The N-Male end fits the N-Female ports common on antennas and amplifiers, and the SMA-Male end fits the smaller SMA-Female ports used on compact equipment. Because the cable bridges the two connector types directly, no separate adapter is needed, and one fewer connection point sits in the signal path.

RG58 is a thinner, more flexible cable than Wilson's 400-series coax, which makes it easier to route along walls, through small openings and into equipment enclosures. That flexibility makes it well suited to moderate-length runs where space is tight. For long runs where loss is the main concern, Wilson-400 ultra low-loss cable is the better choice. If 20 ft is more than the route needs, the 10 ft 955812 uses the same connectors and a shorter run means less loss.
