Great Extension Connector for Electronics

After trying this extension connector, I am extremely happy with the results. The signal is clean and clear with no interference. It was easy to install without any complications. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels durable enough to withstand frequent use. The extension length is also perfect for my needs. The only downside is that the price is a tad bit higher than other similar products in the market. Nonetheless, the quality justifies the cost.

Pros
  • Clean and clear signal, easy to install, high build quality, perfect extension length.
Cons
  • Higher price point than other similar products.

Clearly bad crimping process of the connector

Using a wattmeter with a portable transceiver, I found that shaking the cable near the connector at both ends induces an open/short condition with 100% reflected signal became. Since this happened on both ends, the issue appears to be due to a poor crimping action on the connector. Replacing this cable with another tested one is 100% OK, even if the cable wiggles. I returned this item for a refund.

Pros
  • Scope of delivery: 1 pc. RG8X (best type RG58) UHF CB radio cable
Cons
  • thin

Bad cables (2 of 2)

I bought this cable to connect the antenna. The cable had an intermittent short between the center conductor and ground. Sent back for direct replacement. When I received the second cable I tested it with an ohmmeter first before running the cable. The second had a permanent short circuit between center conductor and ground. I verified the correct operation of my meter by checking several proven cables.

Pros
  • RG8X has the strongest signal and 8 times the lowest loss of any other type
Cons
  • old
