The cable's hand-soldered, quality PL-259 ends are less likely to break or short than cables with molded ends.   Also available in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/premium-extended-length-cb-coax\" title=\"extended length\"\u003e25', 50', 75' and 100' lengths here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelden or Comparable RG8X\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoax Type\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRG-8X (Premium Single)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003ePL-259\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95%+ shielding rating\u003cbr\u003eQuality, hand-soldered PL-259 ends\u003cbr\u003eThick, 24\" diameter build\u003cbr\u003eStranded center\u003cbr\u003e9' or 18' long\u003cbr\u003eDual PL-259 ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll CB radios and mount studs that accept a PL-259 coax connection.
