RoadPro RP-8X18CL 18 ft coaxial RF cable PL-259 connectors clear

SKU CH-KTAT-P3A7E

An 18 ft coaxial cable with PL-259 connectors and 144 braided copper strands for CB antenna connections

  • 18 ft length reaches mobile antenna mounts easily
  • PL-259 connectors fit standard SO-239 stud mounts directly
  • 144 braided copper strands shield the signal path
  • Stranded centre conductor keeps the cable flexible for routing
  • Soldered joints secure each connector for reliable contact

18 ft CB antenna cable

This 18 ft coaxial cable connects a single CB antenna to a radio using PL-259 connectors. It is built for mobile installations that need a flexible, low-loss link between the antenna stud mount and the transceiver. The clear jacket makes routing visible in tight vehicle channels.

Soldered PL-259 ends and 144 copper braid

Factory-soldered PL-259 plugs fit SO-239 stud mounts directly, removing the need for field crimping. The 144 braided copper strands shield the signal while the stranded centre conductor keeps the cable pliable for bends around dash panels and door frames.

Simple screw-on install, watch connector seating

Thread each PL-259 onto its SO-239 mount by hand until snug; no tools are required. The most common issue is an incomplete seat that leaves a high SWR, so verify full contact on both ends before finalising the route.

Questions about this item

How often will the PL-259 connectors need to be re-soldered or replaced on this 18 ft cable?

The PL-259 connectors are factory soldered and designed for permanent installation; no re-soldering schedule is required under normal use.

What is the first performance limit reached when this Mini-8 coax runs at full power for long periods?

The stranded center conductor and 144 braided copper strands are rated for low-loss signal transmission, so heat buildup in the dielectric is the practical limit during continuous high-power operation.

Does the clear jacket on this 18 ft cable get hot or add noise when the antenna runs all day?

The clear jacket stays near ambient temperature and adds no electrical noise; the 144-strand braid and low-loss dielectric keep the line cool and quiet during extended transmit cycles.
