DX Engineering Cable and Connectors
DX Engineering RG-213/U 50-ohm Bulk Coaxial Cable
DX Engineering RG-213/U is a low-loss, 50-ohm, standard-spec Coaxial Cable with a non-contaminating Type II PVC jacket. This is unterminated bulk cable that is sold by the foot. See Coaxial Cable Assemblies for coax with connectors. Specially manufactured for DX Engineering, RG-213/U feedline is perfect for outdoor use due to its excellent UV resistance and durability in direct-bury applications. Specially suited for high-power amateur stations, RG-213/U provides a lower loss solution for long cable runs at any power level. Featuring a solid polyethylene dielectric, this is the coax that withstands constant movement and flexing on tower mounted rotatable and directional beam antennas. DXE-213U is recommended by contest station owner K3LR for installation at tower top as "rotator loop" coax for HF and VHF. DX Engineering RG-213/U is easily terminated with standard solder or crimp style PL-259 and N connectors designed for RG-8 sized, 0.405 in. cables. DX Engineering Next Generation hybrid PL259s with crimp shield, solder center attachment are also a great choice for DXE-213U coax cable.

DX Engineering RG-8/U 50-ohm Bulk Coaxial Cable
DX Engineering RG-8/U Bulk Coaxial Cable is a new age low-loss 50-ohm feedline with gas injected foam polyethylene dielectric and black vinyl jacket. This is not your grandfather's RG-8. Highly flexible and specially well suited in low and high power Amateur stations, our new DXE-8U provides a lower loss solution, for nearly any length cable run, at any legal power level. High reliability, flexibility and low loss are key points when considering this cable. DX Engineering RG-8/U accepts standard PL-259 and N connectors (sold separately). Note: For additional product information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab.

DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire
DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire is the same wire as used by the most successful contest stations and DX enthusiasts for their ground-mounted vertical antennas. This 16 AWG tinned solid copper wire is an extremely cost effective solution for the high-count, full-size ground radial wire systems that are required for top-performing HF vertical antenna installations. This is especially true for 4-element Four Square Array Systems, 3-element ProStack Arrays, and 2-element Dual Vertical Arrays. Why is this wire the absolute best choice for any ground-mounted vertical antenna? Because, DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire will last much longer in a variety of soil conditions as compared to bare copper, copper coated steel and aluminum wires. Unfortunately, radials deployed with those other wire types actually corrode and degrade rather quickly, but do so slowly enough that the operator may not easily perceive that degradation in terms of antenna system performance. Full radial system integrity is maintained for a much greater number of years with tinned copper wire. Depending upon soil type, installations with DXE-TCRW16 will maintain vertical antenna performance for many, many years… and even decades. DXE-TCRW16 is available in small, easy to handle spools in lengths of 500 feet (DXE-TCRW16-500), 1,000 feet (DXE-TCRW-1000), 2,500 feet (DXE-TCRW16-2500) and 5,000 feet (DXE-TCRW16-5000). NOTE: To prevent accelerated corrosion and the possibility of noise, do not use metal anchor pins (lawn staples) on Tinned Copper Radial Wire. Use only DXE-STPL-100BD Biodegradable Anchor Pins to hold down bare wire radials. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire is the right choice for long lasting top-performance radial systems for your ground-mounted vertical antenna system.

DX Engineering Zip Cord Power Wire
DX Engineering Zip Cord Power Wire is 2-conductor stranded copper insulated cable typically used for low voltage power circuits. It may also be used as speaker wire for low to high power audio. The conductor insulation colors are red and black for immediate polarity identification for both DC and audio applications. This wire is very easy to use. It is a highly flexible, high strand-count insulated wire pair that pulls apart easily, should you want to, hence the name "Zip Cord." Conductor construction details are below. DX Engineering Power Wire is available in six sizes; 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 and 8 AWG (0.8, 1.3, 2.1, 3.3, 5.3 and 8.4 sq. mm equivalent). This wire is sold by-the-foot and is also available in bulk lengths of 500 or 1,000 ft., so you can order just the right size and length for your system! Build your DC power systems with this wire, terminated with Anderson Powerpole® connectors, using our Ultra Crimp Tools, all available from DX Engineering. Order extra sizes and lengths to keep on hand for those spur-of-the-moment projects. DX Engineering Zip Cord Power Wire is ready to deliver power to your system! + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + DX Engineering Power Wire Conductor Construction - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Conductor Size - Number of Strands/Strand AWG 18 AWG - 16/30 16 AWG - 26/30 14 AWG - 41/30 12 AWG - 65/30 10 AWG - 105/30 8 AWG - 152/30

DX Engineering Four-Square Array Three-Quarter Wave Tuned Cables
DX Engineering Four-Square Array Three-Quarter Wave Tuned Cables are offered for your antenna system where the recommended quarter wave cables will be too short for your installation. There are cases where the phasing controller relay unit must be mounted away from the exact physical center of the array, such as when elevated verticals or elevated vertical dipoles are used. Three-quarter wavelength tuned cables are then required. The electrical dimensions of these cables are critical to system performance. They're made from the highest quality waterproof, direct bury 75-ohm RG-11/U gas-injected low-loss foam coaxial cable. Their length differs from a free-space dimension by the velocity factor of the specific cable type. These cables, manufactured to DX Engineering specifications, have a velocity factor of 0.84, providing the maximum physical length to allow for easy burial and routing from the feedpoint of the antenna to the controller relay unit. DX Engineering Four-Square Array Three-Quarter Wave Tuned Cables must be ordered for your desired frequency. These custom built tuned coaxial cable assemblies ordered from DX Engineering are hand crafted and electronically tuned to a specific HF frequency. Typically, customers request that they are tuned to the center or slightly below the center of their antenna array band, depending upon their planned modes of operation. After placing your order, please inform us of the desired frequency for your cables by e-mailing dxengineering@dxengineering.com or by calling 800-777-0703 or 330-572-3200. You may leave a message after business hours. Custom cable assembly orders will process after we receive your frequency information. Please contact DX Engineering Technical Support if additional assistance is needed. We will contact you if we have any questions about your special orders.
