LA-113 RG-8 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable: Boost Antenna Reach with Minimal Signal Loss

The LA-113 RG-8 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable is a top - notch choice when you need to increase antenna distance and reduce signal loss. It's great for long - range antenna setups in radio, TV, and data transmission. Remember, signal weakens over distance. Listen Technologies advises using at least 100 ft. (30.5 m) at 72 MHz or 50 ft. (15.24 m) at 216 MHz for the best signal. Compared to regular RG - 58 cables, the LA - 113 has much lower signal loss, giving you clear and stable reception even over long distances.

The LA - 113 is built tough for reliable performance in tough conditions. It has a bare copper conductor for efficient signal transfer, covered by foam polyethylene insulation for excellent signal protection. A PVC jacket shields it from outside elements, and a bare copper braided shield cuts down on unwanted interference. This mix of materials guarantees great signal quality and long - lasting durability.

Key Features

• Expand antenna range for better signal in radio, TV, and data apps, perfect for long cable runs
• Low signal loss: 1 dB per 50 ft. at 72 MHz, 2 dB per 50 ft. at 216 MHz for great long - distance signals
• Best for coaxial runs over 100 ft. (30.5 m) at 72 MHz or 50 ft. (15.24 m) at 216 MHz
• Durable build with foam polyethylene insulation, PVC jacket, and bare copper conductors for top performance
• Standard 50 Ohm impedance for wide antenna compatibility

Using the LA - 113 RG - 8 50 Ohm Coaxial Cable is easy. First, make sure you have the right length. For 72 MHz, it's best to use at least 100 feet, and for 216 MHz, 50 feet is the minimum. Connect one end of the cable to your antenna and the other end to your device. You'll notice better signal reception right away. When installing, try to keep the cable away from sources of interference like power lines. As for maintenance, check the cable regularly for any signs of wear or damage to the PVC jacket. If you find any issues, replace the cable to ensure continued good performance. And that's all there is to it! Enjoy clear signals with your new coaxial cable.
