Overview
Is RG58 losing too much signal over your cable run? PTL-240 is the step up. It's an L-240 class low loss cable at just 6.1mm, so it stays easy to route and bend while losing far less signal than RG58 over the same distance.
It's the cable most cellular booster and 4G router installs are built around, and it suits UHF radio feeders where the run is too long for RG58.
Key Features
- L-240 class low loss construction means more of your signal reaches the antenna, especially on longer runs.
- 6.1mm outer diameter, 19.1mm minimum bend radius means it's easy to route through tight vehicle and building cable paths.
- DC to 6GHz means it covers UHF radio, 4G and sub-6GHz 5G.
- Double shielding, over 90dB means strong protection from interference in busy RF environments.
- UV-stable polyethylene jacket means it's suited to outdoor runs.
Applications
- Antenna leads for Cel-Fi boosters and 4G routers
- UHF radio feeders where RG58 loss is too high
- Vehicle, building and short mast runs

FAQs
How do I order the length I need?
Choose "Per metre" and set the quantity to the number of metres. A quantity of 15 is a continuous 15m length. For larger jobs, the full 100m reel works out cheaper per metre.
Should I use PTL-240 or RG58?
For short runs, RG58 is fine. For longer runs, or anything connecting to a cellular booster or 4G router, PTL-240's lower loss makes a real difference to performance.
Can you make up a custom cable for me?
Yes, custom cables are a specialty of ours. Tell us the length and the connector you need at each end, and our workshop will make it up and test it before it ships.
Which connectors fit it?
Any L-240 series connector, crimped with a 6.48mm hex die.
Can you install it for me?
Yes. Our Bay of Plenty technicians can supply, terminate and install the full cable run. Outside the region, we work with partner installers.
