Product Description
ARS-G525 - UHF Male / Female Right Angle Elbow Coaxial Adapter Connector
The UHF Male / Female Right Angle Elbow Coaxial Adapter is a 90-degree RF adapter designed to connect a PL-259 UHF male connection to an SO-239 UHF female connection while changing the cable direction by 90 degrees. Its compact right-angle configuration is ideal when space is limited behind radios, antenna equipment, and other RF devices.
The adapter provides a convenient way to route coaxial cable without forcing the cable into a sharp bend, helping create a cleaner installation and reducing strain on the coax and equipment connectors.
Key Features
- 90° Right-Angle Elbow Design – Changes the direction of an RF connection by 90 degrees.
- PL-259 UHF Male to SO-239 UHF Female – Compatible with standard UHF-series connections.
- Compact Configuration – Useful where a straight connector would require excessive clearance.
- Threaded UHF Connections – Provides secure mechanical coupling between mating connectors.
- Durable Metal Construction – Suitable for radio, antenna, communications, and general RF applications.
- Improved Cable Routing – Helps eliminate unnecessarily tight coaxial cable bends.
- Versatile RF Applications – Suitable for CB radio, amateur radio, antenna systems, marine communications, and other compatible RF equipment.
Connector Configuration
Male Side: PL-259 UHF male plug with external coupling threads and center contact pin.
Female Side: SO-239 UHF female jack with internal mating threads and center socket contact.
Common Applications
Tight Spaces: Ideal for installations behind CB and amateur radios where there is insufficient room for a straight coaxial connection.
Cable Routing: Allows coaxial cable to be routed horizontally, vertically, or around equipment while maintaining a cleaner installation.
Strain Reduction: Helps prevent excessive bending immediately at the equipment connection, which can place unnecessary stress on coaxial cable.
Antenna Systems: Useful for connecting radios, antenna switches, feed-throughs, mounts, and other equipment using UHF connectors.
Marine & Mobile Installations: The 90-degree configuration can be especially useful in confined equipment compartments and vehicle installations.

Why Use a Right-Angle UHF Adapter?
A straight PL-259 connection can require significant clearance behind a radio or piece of equipment. This adapter turns the connection 90 degrees, allowing the coax to run parallel to the equipment rather than extending directly outward. This can save space, improve cable organization, and reduce stress caused by tight cable bends.
