MOOKEERF RG8x Coaxial Cable 100ft,Low Loss RG 8X Cable 100 Feet,RG8x Coax Cable 50 ohm

Used for my Automatic Identification System on my yacht. Cable run from the top of the mast, down through the mast then through various areas behind walls etc to terminate at the nav desk.Good solid copper core makes the cable semi rigid but could still easily loop at around 100mm diameter.

Good quality wire at a great value! This was a great purchase and I turned around and ordered it again. As advertised and great quality. Value for what you get is perfect. Would definitely consider purchasing again. I utilize this for ham radio antennas, and make my own connections. Can't go wrong here.

I have Tram RG8x cable for my amateur radio needs, and cut up 200 feet of it into several cables. Put on PL259's with no problem. Stranded core. Nice and flexible. Tried this brand I never heard of, and it arrived in a plastic bag. Solid core. What I found was that it is not flexible at all, and remains in the position to which I bend it. Not a fan. I am sure it will be effective as a cable, but not too friendly to deployment. Final point - I will not buy it again. I will pay more for 500 feet of TRAM cable.

Fantastic item!! Works great!!

The MOOKEERF cable solders easily and has the same specifications as the Times Microwave LMR-240 cable. but at a much lower cost. I used a MFJ 259 analyzer to measure the coax cable loss at 50 MHz and came close to the listed specifications. One caution: the MOOKEERF specifications are for 50 feet so the values must be doubled for 100 feet to compare to the LMR-240 specifications which are for 100 feet.The MOOKEERF cable has a solid core like the standard LMR-240 which is not the UltraFlex version. So, the cable is not as flexible as UltraFlex but has lower loss than UltrFlex. The cable construction appears to be similar to the LMR-240.This cable could be used at any length and frequency but the power lost in the cable could be high. I recommend using this cable for shorter feedlines less than 50 feet and at lower frequencies less than 30 MHz. The cable power loss at 100 feet and 50 MHz would be almost 30%. The specified 0.85 dB loss at 50 MHz would be close to 18%. A better cable choice for long feedlines and high frequencies would be XMR400 from XRDS at Amazon. This cable is only $26 more for 100 feet and the loss is half that from the MOOKEERF cable. Beware the XMR400 has a larger diameter and is very stiff.By the way, Wikipedia has a good article on decibels for power gain and loss but there is some math.
