Shakespeare Shak 4078-50 CBL Coax 50' Two Way Radio Antennas

Quality product as far as wire shielding or wire center conductor goes. Bending behind the connector will eventually end up as a short. The dielectric cannot standup to repeated bends. the fix is reinforcing coax at the back of the connector. Use a few layers of electrical tape as I did or a couple layers of shrink tubing. After the fix was in place I have had no problem under daily use.

This is a good high quality cable with reliable characteristics. You can't get this at the Shack. And I always dress the ends myself, so price was the primary concern. This happened to be the best price delivered. If I need more, I know where to find it.

Coax seemed OK but the coil had several kinks making it unuseable except for patch cords. Kinks destroy the characteristic cable impedance.
