Our patented* revolutionary new PL-259 connector and our premium flexible DXE-8X coaxial cable were designed to make the new DX Engineering RG-8X PL-259 Low-Loss 50

Our patented* revolutionary new PL-259 connector and our premium flexible DXE-8X coaxial cable were designed to make the new DX Engineering RG-8X PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies the best RG-8X cable assemblies available for HF applications.

DX Engineering RG-8X PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies are made from our new-process low-loss, gas injected foam dielectric cable. Featuring stranded copper center, braided copper shield and a non-contaminating Type IIa PVC jacket, good for direct bury, our 8X DX Series cable assemblies are intended for moderate-power HF stations or mobile applications where short runs and flexibility are key factors. Slightly larger than RG-58 cable, DX Engineering RG-8X offers better handling characteristics and very good shielding. Plus, this is the new type of foam that cannot gather moisture and has lower loss than old RG-8X foam cables.

DX Engineering RG-8X PL-259 Low-Loss Coaxial Cable Assemblies are terminated with our new, custom-designed, silver-plated DX Engineering PL-259 (UHF male) connectors.

These patented* 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
* All DX Engineering Cable Assemblies are Hi-Pot tested and heat-shrink weather-sealed for the ultimate in service longevity

These new, ultra-high quality PL-259s have all silver-plated shells and bodies with center pins securely mounted in PTFE dielectric for exceptional RF characteristics and power handling.

Order some extras in various lengths to have on hand for the next time you add to, change, or rearrange your equipment. DX Engineering RG-8X PL-259 Low-Loss 50-ohm Coaxial Cable Assemblies are perfect for every station!
