You will find the finest coaxial cable available at the RADIO WORKS. All of our stock is because we have shipments directly from the factories every week or so. Nothing sits around and grows old and lossy here. We do not sell seconds or surplus coax. You can count on us for that special antenna project. |
RG-8X

RG-8X Plus
|
|||||||||||||||
| RG-8X is a low loss, low cost, 50-ohm coax that WILL handle 1500 watts. Losses on HF are only slightly higher than RG-213, yet RG-8X is the same size as RG-59 (about 1/4" in diameter). Combine LOW cost, LOW weight, and LOW loss and you have what amounts to a VERY BEST BUY! | Most RG-8X is made with a type IA jacket. RG-8X Plus uses the Military type IIA, non-contaminating jacket which is preferred by some. Except for the jacket, the specs on this coax are identical with our Premium RG-8X. | |||||||||||||||
| Applications
Use with all HF wire antennas. It is suitable for any HF installation including beams. Use on VHF only for short runs of less than 50 feet. due to its flexibility, it makes excellent jumpers and is perfect for mobile installations. |
ApplicationsIf you want the very best, this is your choice. |

| . This is the coax for you if you need top quality, low loss, double shielded RG-8X size cable. "I have 5 coax runs leaving my second floor shack. To keep the size of the bundle reasonable while still handling the legal power limit, I chose to use Super 240. Low loss, high power rating, double shielding - it's perfect for the task." ..... Jim, W4THU, owner of the RADIO WORKS. |
This Mil-Spec RG-213 has a 95%+ braid and a top-quality, long-life, non-contaminating jacket. Electrical specs are identical to standard RG-213. For a few extra cents, you get the kind of coax others sell for nearly twice the price. | |||||||||||||||
ApplicationsAll RG-8X applications. This coax is ideal lower loss and high power ratings are required. It's also perfect when several coaxial cable are bundled together. |
ApplicationsAll RG-213 recommendations apply. This coax has a very long life jacket that I recommend for all permanent HF antenna installations. It is also suitable at VHF if the run is limited to 100 feet or less. For UHF and VHF DX work, I recommend the coax listed on our "Low Loss Coax" listed below. |

| This is the new International 9096 IIA coax. It is a top-of-the line, flexible 9913-type coax. Construction is excellent with a 19-strand center conductor. It bends as easily as conventional RG-8 or RG-213 and will handle the legal power limit even at UHF frequencies. | This is your low cost alternative to other low loss cables. It is highly flexible for rotator loops, etc. and it is TRULY directly buriable due to its Polyethylene (not PVC) outer jacket. The low loss is due to the slight larger (vs. 9913) center conductor; flexible, high tech foam Polyethylene dielectric; and flexible polymer grade of polyethylene jacket. | |||||||||
RecommendationsAll SuperCable applications. This coax is a must for crank-up towers and rotatable antennas in any installation where low loss cables are needed. |
