It is part of Shakespeare's line of marine grade connectors and adapters built for antenna installations aboard boats, where connectors are routinely exposed to salt air, moisture, and temperature swings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connector body is gold-plated brass. The gold plating better withstands the elements compared to traditional connector finishes and minimizes the signal loss that can develop at a connector joint over time, helping keep VHF, satellite radio, and other marine antenna coax runs performing as they should. The barrel design accepts PL-259-ended cables on each end, making it a straightforward way to join two coax runs in an antenna installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shakespeare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e PL-258-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel Connector (Fittings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e UHF Female to UHF Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-Plated Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Devices:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audio Equipment, Data Processing Units, Marine-Specific Equipment, Video Devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 719441110895\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine Antennas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits any coaxial cable terminated with PL-259 connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Shakespeare PL-258-G barrel connector do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It joins two PL-259-ended coaxial cables together, letting you connect or extend an antenna coax run without cutting and re-terminating the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the PL-258-G gold-plated?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the PL-258-G body is gold-plated brass, which better withstands marine elements and minimizes signal loss at the connector joint compared to traditional connector finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat connector type is the PL-258-G?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G is a UHF female to UHF female barrel connector, designed to accept PL-259-ended cables on each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable types work with the PL-258-G?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G is designed for coaxial cable that is terminated with PL-259 connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the PL-258-G made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G barrel connector is made of gold-plated brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the PL-258-G weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Shakespeare PL-258-G weighs 0.04 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many connectors come in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G ships as a single barrel connector, a unit count of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the PL-258-G suitable for marine use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the PL-258-G is part of Shakespeare's marine grade line of connectors and adapters built for antenna installations exposed to salt air and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the PL-258-G work with audio and video equipment as well as marine antennas?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G is compatible with audio equipment, data processing units, marine-specific equipment, and video devices that use PL-259-ended coaxial connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Shakespeare PL-258-G genuine Shakespeare, not an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the PL-258-G is a genuine Shakespeare part carrying Shakespeare's limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the PL-258-G connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PL-258-G has a gold, or golden, finish from its gold plating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shakespeare Antennas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49028256334043,"sku":"SHA-PL-258-G","price":13.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SHA-PL-258-G_lg__56624.1558120934.500.750.jpg?v=1785165555","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/shakespeare-pl-258-g-gold-plated-marine-barrel-connector-for-pl-259-cables","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
