DX Engineering 400MAX PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coax Assemblies

Our patented* revolutionary new PL-259 connector and our premium, low-loss 400MAX coaxial cable are designed to make the new DX Engineering 400MAX PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies the best cable assemblies available for simplex HF, VHF and UHF applications.

DX Engineering 400MAX coax features a waterproof jacket made with a highly UV-resistant, Type III-A polyethylene which is ideal for all outdoor feedline applications including direct-bury installations. With a large 10 AWG stranded copper center conductor, 400MAX DX Series low-loss assemblies are perfectly suited for long cable runs and low or high power level operations. Our 400MAX coax cable also features modern, gas-injected foam polyethylene dielectric that cannot absorb moisture and has complete shielding with 100 percent coverage bonded aluminum tape covered by minimum 95 percent coverage tinned copper braid. Regarded in the industry as a top quality low-loss feedline, DX Engineering 400MAX Coaxial Cable is custom made to provide the highest performance and excellent longevity. Coaxial cables with foil-braid dual shielding or foam dielectric are optimized for stationary simplex antenna applications across HF, VHF and UHF. DXE-400MAX is not recommended for use in in a VHF/UHF duplex repeater applications or for a beam antenna rotator loop.

DX Engineering 400MAX PL-259 DX Series Coaxial Cable Assemblies are terminated at each end with our new, custom-designed, silver-plated brass DX Engineering PL-259 (UHF male) connectors. These next generation PL-259 connectors feature:
-Full diameter, full length soldered center pins that snugly fit even worn SO-239s
-Spacious center pin inside diameter that accepts large conductors and allows generous solder flow
-Deep, double knurled threaded shells for secure finger tightening
These new, ultra-high quality PL-259s have all silver-plated brass shells and bodies with center pins securely mounted in PTFE dielectric for exceptional RF characteristics and power handling.

Our new 400MAX DX Series cable assembly PL-259 center pins are hand soldered by trained assembly techs to assure a proper connection. These special PL-259 cable assemblies also feature machine crimped shields, with 360 degrees of complete mechanical and electrical contact for maximum reliability. Every assembly is continuity and Hi-Pot tested and then heat-shrink weather-sealed for the ultimate service longevity. You won't find this level of cable assembly quality anywhere else! DX Engineering 400MAX PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies with our new PL-259 connectors are now available, only from DX Engineering!
