BELDEN 8214, RG-8/U TYPE 13 AWG COAXIAL CABLE

BELDEN 8214, RG-8/U TYPE 13 AWG COAXIAL CABLE

BELDEN 8214 is a high-performance, low-loss 50-ohm coaxial cable modeled after the classic RG-8/U standard. Built with a substantial 13 AWG solid center conductor, this cable is designed for long-distance RF signal transmission where minimizing signal attenuation is essential for maintaining power and range in antenna and wireless communication systems.

Product Description

This cable is engineered for demanding radio frequency (RF) environments, prioritizing efficient energy transfer over long cable runs:

Robust Conductor: It utilizes a large 13 AWG solid bare copper center conductor. The solid construction provides superior conductivity and lower DC resistance compared to standard RG-58 or RG-59 cables, significantly reducing power loss at higher frequencies.

Dielectric Performance: The center conductor is encased in a high-quality polyethylene (PE) dielectric, which maintains the precise geometry needed for consistent 50-ohm impedance and stable performance across various RF bands.

Maximum Interference Protection: To ensure high signal purity, the 8214 features a double-shielding construction—a 95% coverage tinned copper braid—providing excellent rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

Durable Exterior: The entire assembly is protected by a thick, resilient PVC jacket. This casing is designed to withstand the physical stressors of outdoor installations, such as sun exposure and moisture, making it ideal for permanent outdoor antenna leads and high-power radio base stations.
