Dual CB Antenna Coax Cable 35FT Low Loss RG8X - Flexible Dual Antenna

In this review of the Dual CB Antenna Coax Cable 35FT, the bottom line is simple: this cable is best for CB and ham radio users who need a long, flexible, low-loss run and occasional outdoor exposure. The reviewer found the stranded pure copper center and double shielding deliver noticeably better signal retention over distance compared with thinner, cheaper coax, and the removable UHF/PL-259 arrangement makes it practical for routing two antennas into one transceiver in tight vehicle or rack locations.

Key Features

• Ultra low loss: RG8X construction with a pure copper inner conductor and double shielding provides reduced signal loss over long 35 ft runs, preserving transmit and receive performance.
• Premium materials: Stranded pure copper center and aluminum foil plus tinned copper braid outer shield combine for over 95% shielding efficiency to resist EMI and RFI.
• Durable jacket: Waterproof FEP outer jacket lets the cable be used in exposed outdoor or vehicle environments without rapid degradation.
• Flexible design: Stranded center conductor and smaller RG8X diameter make routing through tight spaces and around bends noticeably easier than rigid coax.
• Strong connectors: High quality PL-259 and FME male connectors with extended heat shrink and solid solder/weld joints reduce the risk of connector separation.
• Dual antenna hookup: Two removable UHF connectors allow one transceiver to connect to twin CB or amateur antennas where space is limited.

Who It's For

This cable suits vehicle mount CB operators, amateur radio hobbyists, and installers who need a 35 ft low-loss run that can survive outdoor exposure. It is particularly useful when routing cable through luggage racks, engine compartments, trunks, or tight roofline gaps where flexibility and durable connectors matter.

Those who need extremely low-loss runs for VHF/UHF contesting at very high power or users who require factory-specified commercial-grade military cable may want to compare alternative coax types; however, for most mobile and base station installations this RG8X dual lead balances performance, flexibility, and price.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Low-loss RG8X construction maintains signal quality over 35 ft while remaining flexible for routing.
• High shielding performance and resistance to EMI/RFI protect reception in noisy environments.
• Waterproof FEP jacket and upgraded heat shrink at connectors increase outdoor durability.
• Removable UHF connectors let one transceiver share two antennas without permanent modification.

Cons

• RG8X has more loss than larger-diameter commercial coax at very high frequencies or very long runs, so it is not the lowest-loss option available.

Our Verdict

The Dual CB Antenna Coax Cable 35FT is a practical, value-minded choice for CB and ham operators who need a flexible, weather-resistant 35 ft run with solid shielding and reliable connectors. It is a good balance of low loss, flexibility, and durability for vehicle and base installations where space is limited and a dual-antenna hookup is useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this cable outdoors?
Yes. The waterproof FEP jacket is designed to withstand outdoor exposure and vehicle installations, though normal care at feedpoints is recommended.

Will these connectors work with my transceiver?
The cable ships with PL-259 and FME male connectors and removable UHF adapters, which fit common CB and many amateur radio transceivers; confirm your radio's connector type before purchase.

Is this the lowest-loss option available?
It offers ultra low loss for RG8X class cable, but larger-diameter coax types will have even lower loss for very long runs or higher frequency professional use.
