Digital RG8X Mini8 CBHam Marine Antenna Coaxial Extension Cable UHF Male to UHF Female PL259 to SO239 2FT

Marine grade coaxial CB, ham and RF radio cables Made in the U. S. A. By FCC licensed radio operators Marine antenna Cable requires additional care in construction and testing. Where a land based RF antenna installation can be repaired and replaced as needed Cable used for radio antennas on-board water craft is much more difficult to install and replace. Marine antenna cables must be robust for rough usage in the weather and flexible enough for installation in tight quarters. digital uses only USA made 96% Shielded pure copper or double shielded Marine grade cable Fully shielded-uv protected-salt tested - UL certified Marine grade coaxial cable for marine and all VHF AIS RF radio antennas 400 & RGB 1/4 inch marine coax with up to 70 percent less loss than RG-58 and flexible for marine installation Made in the U.

To quality standards - swept with bird site Hawk sk-4000 to assure VSWR less than 1: 1. 35Marine grade cable with silver Teflon UHF connectors is designed for 15 year outdoor exposure in salt environments - when your need is critical buy coax that can be trusted custom configurations and special orders at no extra Charge60 day Returns and 1 year free exchange on all Marine cables your boat or marine install is no place for cheap 80% Shielded adulterated coax shipped from China! Nothing is worse than having a wire or cable fail during a storm or other critical time.

Not only can it risk your safety and mean downtime and costly repairs, but it can also ruin your radio equipment. At digital, we know how difficult It can be to choose the exact wire for your unique maritime applications. Our ultra low loss coaxial cable (coax) is designed to transfer your radio transmitters energy to your antenna with as little loss as possible. It is precisely made, with the correct impedance for marine VHF and AIS installations. We offer 2 kinds of 50-Ohm coax cable for VHF and
AIS radio installations: rg-8x, and Lmr400, the Ultra low loss Marine cable. Use the largest coax you can fit to reduce signal loss.
Here is the reason: almost all VHF radios start with about 25 watts of transmit power. As soon as the signal starts down the coax cable, It begins to lose strength. This loss is measured in DB. High gain antennas cannot recover this lost energy, but they can focus the remaining energy across the water so you come through with as much punch as possible. We do not recommend RG-58 for marine radio installations. Rg-8x is just a fraction larger and just as flexible With much lower loss. Bigger coax reduces signal losses between the radio and the antenna, which increases power at the antenna. All of the cable digital uses to manufacture its proprietary RF assemblies is made to US military Specifications mil-c-17, jan-c-17 and others such as M17/28-rg58, M17/74-rg213 and M17/75-rg214.
