DX Engineering EZ-BUILD® UWA8X Center-T and End Insulator Kits

DX Engineering EZ-BUILD® UWA8X Center-T and End Insulator Kits are designed for building coax fed wire antennas that will be used in medium to low-power operations.

These new universal wire antenna building kits include a completely unique coaxial cable connector and feedline strain relief system. All EZ-BUILD® kits also include our lightweight, high strength, UV-protected center-T and end insulators.

They feature an exclusive serpentine wire grip for insulated DX Engineering antenna wire and our high strength, high power 300 ohm ladder line. Threading the wire or window line through the center and end insulator openings in a serpentine manner creates a grip that is so strong, the wire ends do not need to be looped, wrapped, or soldered. EZ-BUILD® kits allow for fast and easy field adjustments!

The DX Engineering EZ-BUILD® Center-T includes a centered, top, 3/8 in. hole for the attachment of an antenna support rope, and the End Insulators accept up to 5/16 in. antenna support rope.

Our EZ-BUILD® kits simplify the construction of your wire antenna, with wire crimp terminals, stainless steel hardware, and a pre-assembled coax pigtail with connector and adapter that accepts your feedline PL-259 (UHF male) connector.

The feedline is secured with the exclusive DX Engineering Coax Strain Relief which features an aluminum bracket, neoprene-cushioned P-clamps, and stainless steel hardware. This method supports the feedline without subjecting the connectors to the strain of the coaxial cable's weight or movement.

DX Engineering EZ-BUILD® UWA8X Center-T and End Insulator Kits let you create any type of wire antennas, including single-band, multi-band, multi-frequency, folded dipole, doublet and inverted-V, off-center fed, Windom, Zepp, long wires, rhombic, V-beam, or loop antennas.

This UWA8X-KIT will handle low and medium power levels and tolerate low SWR levels.

The UWA213-KIT is the model to use for the construction of a coax fed wire antenna that will be operated at moderate power and high duty cycle modes of operation, such as AM, RTTY, or FM.

Use the EZ-BUILD® UWA-KIT for building a wire antenna with any DX Engineering Balun or 300 Ohm Ladder Line.

DX Engineering EZ-BUILD® UWA8X Center-T and End Insulator Kits include:

-- One center-T insulator featuring an exclusive no-loop, no-solder wire, multiple wire, or 300 ohm ladder line serpentine grip design, which allow for the rapid field adjustment of wire lengths; the center-T includes a centered top hole for attaching support ropes
-- Two end insulators featuring the no-loop, no-solder, serpentine grip design
-- Two stainless steel wire connection bolts, nuts, and washers
-- Four crimp ring terminals for antenna and ladder line wire connections
-- One pre-soldered, weather-sealed and tested coaxial connector and adapter assembly
-- One aluminum cable strain relief bracket and mounting hardware
-- Two strain relief P-clamps with neoprene cushions sized to grip RG-8X without crushing the coaxial cable
-- Additional stainless steel hardware for mounting DX Engineering baluns
