Short length of small diameter coax needed

174.215.18.112

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.
