• PL-259 Gold Plated Center-Pin® connectors make installing the connector a snap
• Protected by a proprietary high-gloss polyurethane that won’t fuzz or turn yellow in the sun
• Mirror-finished stainless steel ferrule with 1″-14 threads is polished to a high luster
• Flexible RG-8X low-loss cable has higher power capabilities, lower loss per foot, UV-stable jacketing, a stranded copper core and higher concentrations of copper shielding to help maximize performance
• Ethafoam spacer system provides strong mechanical support and isolates the radiators from vibration and moisture for long, dependable service
• Quality brass choking sleeves insulate the copper inner conductor and suppress cable radiation
