Description
Glomex VHF antenna configurator - Step 2/4 cable
The Step 2/4 of the Glomex VHF antenna configurator is the selection of the coaxial cable. It allows you to choose a high-quality RG8X low-loss cable suitable for the length of installation between the antenna and the VHF.
The quality of the coaxial cable is decisive for transmission and reception performance: a cable that is too thin or of poor quality can halve the effective range of the VHF.
Advantages
- High-quality, low-loss RG8X cable
- Optimizes effective VHF range
- Compatible with Glomex whips and PL259 connectors
Technical specifications
- Type: RG8X low loss
- To be chosen according to installation length (antenna length -> VHF)
Tips for use
Limit cable length to what is strictly necessary, and favor low-loss cable on sailboats where the cable passes through the mast. Avoid tight bends and excessively taut runs, which degrade the cable core.
