 I need a 24" to 48" length of small diameter coax for aesthetic purposes to connect an antenna cable with type F connectors to a tv.

I have a piece of RG58 but it has SMA connectors.

Should I use the adapters linked or is there a better way?

Thanks for any help

 rg58 is 50 ohm, I think you want 75 ohm (for TV) like
rg59 or rg6. 59 is smaller and okay for short runs.

 Welcome...place like Goodwill/thrift stores usually have short
hookup cables with F conn. on them, but usually RG6 (fat).

SMA's are for use with communications radios and 50 ohm anyway.
