I purchased both 2- and 3-foot jumpers and appreciated that they had right angle connectors. The problem is that they were "Swivel" connectors. I really wanted to like them. Initially they worked great, but I was still apprehensive about the swivel connection.Over time the cables lost connectivity resulting in an "Open" condition on several occasions. The issue, besides loss of received signal, is that if used with a transmitter they can often result in burning out the final amplifier transistors so the unit will never transmit again (until repaired by a shop).I first noticed the issue when either my base station shortwave radio or scanner would not pick up any signals. I would touch or move the cable slightly at the swivel point whereas the radios worked again. Could be an oxidation/electrolysis issue at the internal swivel connection, which occurs over time.I imagine the issue could be much use in a mobile environment.Replaced with standard jumper cables and used dedicated right-angle adapters where needed.

I previously bought the 1" length of these to use on a as needed basis for an SWR meter. It served the purpose and at the time, I didn't pay much attention to the "swiveling" nature of the connections. I recently bought a pair of 2" ones to connect two CB radios to an antenna switch. This is when I noticed the unreliable connection of them. With radio on, I noticed that as I tried to move the cable a little, the signal cuts in and out as the connector "swivels". If one were to be transmitting at the time the connection gets iffy, you would be risking blowing out your radio. I won't be trusting any of them any more. Not worth the hassle and cost to return so I guess I'll just eat the loss of what I spent to get them. If you value your radio, I would not use these! Update: I mentioned 1" length. I meant 1 foot.

Works great for connecting a radio to a nearby tuner or antenna switch. I really like using right angle connectors so I can push gear farther against the wall if needed. I measured both with a NanoVNA first and found that both were properly connected and had very low loss, as expected for RG-58.

a 2 pack is perfect for my new radio. I like the angle becasue I can move the radio closer to the wall. without stressing the cable. I would like to find some shorter cables in the future. maybe 6"

These were truly terrible. Wide open connections at every turn. It's a VERY tiny solder joint under the cap that simply breaks at the slightest pressure. I had two sets and they were all equally bad.

Seems well made and nice 2ft right angle allows cable to tuck in tight on rear of radio.
