Product Description
RFA-8173 – PL-259 UHF-Male to F-Female Coaxial Adapter
The RFA-8173 is a versatile RF coaxial adapter designed to connect equipment or cables using a PL-259/UHF-Male connector to equipment or cables using a standard F-Female connector. It provides a convenient interface between traditional radio-frequency connections and the F-type connections commonly found in CATV, satellite, broadband, and video applications.
Specifications
- Impedance; 50-Ohms
- Frequency Range: DC to < 500 MHz
- Connector Side 1: UHF Male Plug (PL-259)
- Connector Side 2: F Female Jack
- Body: Nickel-plated brass alloy
- Center Contact: Gold-plated beryllium brass alloy
- Configuration: Straight / Inline
- Durable construction for repeated connections
- Part Number: RFA-8173
Applications
The RFA-8173 can be used to interface PL-259-equipped radio cables and equipment with F-type coaxial cables or F-Female ports. Typical applications include:
- Amateur (Ham) Radio
- CB Radio
- Marine VHF
- RF test and measurement
- CATV and cable-TV equipment
- Satellite and broadband equipment
- Antenna and coaxial cable installations
- Custom RF interconnection applications
Important Notes
The PL-259/UHF connector is generally associated with 50-ohm RF systems, while F-type connections are commonly used in 75-ohm systems. This adapter provides the physical connection between the two interfaces; it does not electrically convert the impedance of the connected systems.

Good Quality
I tend to use these when replacing older EAS antennas where there is an existing RG6 that’s still in good shape. I haven’t used this yet but it looks like good quality.
