Coax (loose)

To connect your radio to your antenna you need a coax lead.

We can supply either loose coax, or a variety of leads made up with plugs on.

All prices are per metre.  You can order any length up to 100m, and for many there is a discount price listed for a full 100m roll.

Good quality 50 ohm coax.

A good quality thin coax as used on most mobile mounts, this is normal thin (6mm) coax.

Plated copper braid and centre.

Big discount if you buy a full 100m roll.

High quality 50 ohm coax.

A good quality tinned copper 6mm (thin) coax - this is a higher quality cable than the standard RG58U

Both the braid & inner cable are plated copper.

RG58 White

L51W

A good quality thin (6mm) 50 ohm coax, but  with a white outer sleeving rather than black.

Popular for marine use.

Limited stock available.

RG8 Mini (black)

Slightly thicker than standard coax (7mm), this claims to give a similar loss to thick RG213 (9mm) coax but is much more flexible.

Very popular where you need a long run of cable but need something more flexible than RG213.

Please note coax

Please note that you need to use 7mm coax plugs rather than standard 6mm.

Original version of this coax, made in Italy.

Slightly thicker than standard coax (7mm), this claims to give a similar loss to thick RG213 (9mm) coax but is much more flexible.

Very popular where you need a long run of cable but need something more flexible than RG213.

Please note that you need to use 7mm coax plugs rather than standard 6mm.

RG213 Low Loss

L54

A heavy duty low loss 50 ohm coax.

Ideal for use with homebase antennas and for any long runs of cable.

Considering the thickness of the cable (9mm) it is still relatively flexible.

RG213-BX -RED (SINGLE Screened)

L54s
!
larger picture 

A good quality low loss coax with a transparent red outer cover.

This is good quality Italian coax, and is the same quality as the red double screened BUT this version only has the standard braid shielding in it (ie not the extra foil).

Better quality than the normal black RG213, BUT at present we have it on offer CHEAPER than the standard black version!

The outer sleeving is a clear red rather than the usual black.  This also allows you to see whether there is any water damage to the coax.

Ideal for use with homebase antennas and for any long runs of cable.

Considering the thickness of the cable (9mm) it is still relatively flexible.

RG213 Double Screened

A double screened version of the RG213 low loss coax.

In addition to the normal braid, this coax also has a foil screen.

The outer sleeving is a clear red rather than the usual black.  This also allows you to see whether there is any water damage to the coax.

Ideal for use with homebase antennas and for any long runs of cable.

Considering the thickness of the cable (9mm) it is still relatively flexible.

H100 Coax

L100
!
Larger picture 

A thick (9mm) low loss coax.

Popular with some amateurs because of it's low loss, the only disadvantage is that the coax is very stiff and tends to remain in whatever shape it is bent.

Has a single solid copper centre rather than the usual multi-stranded.

Westflex W-103

Westflex W-103 low loss airspaced 50 ohm coax.

Popular with some amateurs because of it's low loss, the only disadvantage is that the coax is very stiff and tends to remain in whatever shape it is bent.

Has a single solid copper centre rather than the usual multi-stranded.

Slightly thicker than RG213, and ideally you need to use special 10mm plugs.

RG59

L56

75 ohm communication coax, usually used for making up co-phase harnesses.

Same size as RG58 but difference impedance.

TV Coax

Standard 75 ohm satellite coax with foil screen.

Digital Satellite Coax

L71

High quality 75 ohm satellite coax with copper foil.

Designed as a low loss feeder for digital satellite but can also be used for "Freeview" where signals are weak.
