RG8X Coaxial Cable, 50 Ω

RG8X, often called mini-8, sits between RG58 and full-size low-loss cable. It has noticeably lower loss than RG58 while staying flexible enough for mobile and base-station HF, CB and VHF antenna feed lines.

Also known as RG-8X, Mini-8

Applications

HF and CB antenna feed lines up to about 30 m
Mobile and base-station radio installs
VHF links where RG58 loses too much signal

Choosing this cable

Choose RG8X when RG58 loses too much but a full-size low-loss cable is too stiff for the route.
