CablesOnline, 50ft RG8X UHF PL259 Male to UHF PL259 Male 50-Ohm Antenna Cable

Well, it's 50' of 50 Ohm Coax. If this changes your life, you probably have bigger issues. That said, it works. The connectors seem solid - the fit well with low loss and seem to be well installed. The cable is reasonably flexible and so far has been a good feed line to my antenna. I was concerned with how tightly it was coiled in packaging (I'm obsessive on loosely hand coiling cables from way back) but it lost the tight loops pretty quickly. When I was young, I bought various cables on the cheap and spent a lot of time re-connectoring them. Then I went through a phase of always building my own cables. Now I'm older and would rather spend my time on the air (or online) than fabricating cables. This is a solid compromise. I'm working on my next antenna and will buy another of these for it. Not much of an aesthetic to discuss...it's 50 Ohm feed cable. Black with metal dealies on the ends. Most of it's in the attic to the antenna.

Used it to connect discone from radshack to a noo-elec ham it up upconverter and then RTL-SDR usb dongle. Works fine. The pins are ever so slightly larger than they need to be, which i consider a good thing. The tightening nuts are sort of annoying. anyone who's had a few CBs knows what i mean when i say you have to push the female side into this, turn, push and twist female side, turn, push and twist to lock the teeth, then finally turn it to tight. this is because the "nut" part doesn't traverse up and down very much, due to the plastic part that the cable attaches to. no big deal, this is cheap, good cable, and i don't intend to loosen or disconnect it very much, if ever again.

Very good product. USA made. Durable sheathing.

It's coax cable... I'm happy with the performance of my CB setup so I haven't hacked the cable apart to see what's inside. The only reason I'm not giving this cable a 5 star review is because of the rough soldering that was left on the center tips of the pl259 connectors. However my CB rig is performing excellent so I would actually give this cable a 4.8 if I could. I would purchase this cable again and I will also recommend it to anyone in need of this type of coax.

great

i use this to feed my home built budi stick from my ts-440s. Using an antenna analyzer the vswr on the stick can be 1.1 on 20 meters and on other bands too. When i set the budi stick up my external and internal vswr meters both agree it is 1.1 and stays there weather i run 12 watts ft8 or 100 watts ssb. Cable shielding seems to be great as i have no rf in shack and noise pickup from close by houses is not a problem. Great buy for the money.

great product
