Review on πŸ“‘ High-performance 50ft/15m RG8X Coaxial UHF PL259 Molded & Soldered Connectors for Amateur CB Radio Antenna Cable Wire by Justin Woolley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You get what you pay for.

The box it came in had a big MADE IN CHINA label. There are NO labels on the outside of the cable to identify the cable type. It's extremely stiff and stays where you bend it, I doubt its conductors are solid copper rather than copper-plated steel. Another sign that these are NOT HARD COPPER conductors is that the DC resistance is too high and if you move the terminals around while measuring the resistance the readings will jump all over the place indicating that the solder joints are very are bad. This cable is unsuitable for electrical purposes in my opinion, but should have excellent tinsel resistance if used as a rope. I want to return this item.

Pros
  • 50 Ohm Impedance 50ft RG-8X Coaxial Cable
Cons
  • High Price
