Highly Flexible Coax Assemblies – Built for Real-World Demands

You asked, and we heard you loud and clear. You want highly flexible cable assemblies in a wide range of lengths, equipped with premium connectors that won't let you down. Rig Cables delivered!

We chose high-quality RG-8X as the heart of these cables for one simple reason: it's a proven, go-to choice for flexibility and reliable performance in ham radio setups. Unlike stiffer larger-diameter coax, RG-8X features a stranded center conductor that bends and flexes repeatedly without fatigue or excessive signal loss. Paired with a durable, flexible jacket, it stays supple even in tight spaces, cold temps, or after countless setups and teardowns. All of this comes in a compact ~1/4" diameter cable that's easy to route anywhere.

This flexible design gives you:

- Power handling up to 1 kW on HF bands (with appropriate derating at higher frequencies — excellent for most ham applications).
- A practical minimum bend radius suitable for tight ham shack setups, mobile installs, or quick jumps between gear.
- Solid 50-ohm impedance with copper braid shielding to keep your signal clean and minimize interference.
- Broadband capability ideal for HF through VHF (and short UHF runs), making it perfect for repeaters, antennas, portable rigs, test bench work, or general station patching.
- Tough indoor/outdoor-rated construction with good UV and weather resistance, plus a wide operating temperature range.

We pair this reliable cable with high-quality connectors (your choice of PL-259, N-type, BNC, SMA, and more) that are carefully installed for low VSWR and long-term dependability. Whether you're routing short patches across your desk, connecting portable rigs, or building a clean station setup, these cables move with you — not against you.

Available in custom lengths from super-short 12-inch jumpers up to 200 feet — all crafted right here at Rig Cables with the attention to detail you expect from a family-owned business.
