As shown in the pictures, one end has probably three times as many threads as the other. There is no reason to assume that the exact lengths of mine would be the same as what they would ship to you. Besides which, mine is currently weatherproofed and in-use. I'm not about to tear that apart for a measurement. ## Frequently Bought Together - UHF Lightning Arrestor PL-259 Lightning Surge Protector PL259 Socket (UHF Female) to SO239 Socket (UHF Female) Bulkhead for CB Radio, HAM Radio Gear, 2-Way Base Stations - RFAdapter RG8x Coaxial Cable, CB Coax Cable, 50ft UHF PL259 Male to Male Low Loss CB Antenna Cables, 50 Ohm for HAM Radio, Antenna Analyzer - MOOKEERF RG8x Jumper Cable (3ft, 2 Pack) UHF PL259 Male to Male Low Loss CB Antenna Cable (50 Ohm) for CB, HAM, VHF Radio & Analyzer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/158502926-ham-radio-uhf-coaxial-lightning-arrestor-pl-259-lightning-surge](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/158502926-ham-radio-uhf-coaxial-lightning-arrestor-pl-259-lightning-surge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
