Product Description
3ft RG-223 50-Ohm BNC Cable
The AV-Cables 3ft RG-223 BNC male-to-male cable is a professional 50-ohm RF assembly designed for test equipment, laboratory instruments, communications systems and other impedance-matched RF applications. Its compact three-foot length is ideal for connecting nearby rack equipment, benchtop instruments and RF devices without unnecessary cable slack.
RG-223/U coax uses dual silver-plated copper braid shielding to provide strong protection against EMI and RFI in electrically noisy environments. Professional BNC male connectors provide secure bayonet connections, while the flexible black PVC jacket supports dependable use in racks, laboratories and field systems.
Every cable is hand-built in the USA and individually tested before shipment for continuity and proper termination.
Why Choose RG-223?
RG-223 is often selected instead of standard single-shield coax when improved interference protection is required. Its two silver-plated copper braid shields help preserve signal integrity around power supplies, computers, transmitters and other electronic equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of RG-223 over RG-58?
RG-223 uses dual silver-plated copper braid shielding, providing greater EMI and RFI protection than typical single-braid RG-58 constructions. It is a strong choice for demanding RF and laboratory environments.
Is this a true 50-ohm cable?
Yes. The assembly uses 50-ohm RG-223/U coax and is intended for equipment with compatible 50-ohm BNC interfaces.
Why choose the 3ft length?
Three feet provides a compact connection between nearby instruments, rack components and RF devices while reducing excess cable compared with a longer assembly.
Can this cable be used for SDI video?
No. Professional SDI video systems require 75-ohm coaxial cable and true 75-ohm BNC connectors. This product is a 50-ohm RF assembly.
Can AV-Cables build other lengths or larger quantities?
Yes. Custom lengths and volume production are available for integrators, laboratories, government projects and OEM requirements.
