West Penn Wire WP-2598G8BM-100 RG8 50 Ohm Bnc Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE WP-2598G8BM-100 is a 100-foot pre-assembled RG8 coaxial cable terminated with BNC connectors at a 50-ohm impedance. RG8 is a thick, low-loss coaxial cable well suited for RF signal transmission, radio communications, and related low-attenuation applications. The pre-assembled BNC terminations eliminate field crimping and reduce installation time on runs where a ready-to-install cable assembly is preferred. Electricians, low-voltage technicians, and communications installers working on RF or data distribution systems are the typical end users for this cable type.

This cable assembly is appropriate for applications requiring a 50-ohm coaxial link, including two-way radio systems, amateur radio installations, and similar RF transmission setups. The 100-foot length suits moderate-distance runs within equipment rooms, facilities, or outdoor installations where RG8-gauge coaxial is specified. It ships as a complete assembly, meaning no additional connector termination is required at the time of installation.

Key Features

• 50-ohm impedance matched to standard RF and radio communication equipment
• RG8-type coaxial construction for low signal loss over longer runs
• Pre-installed BNC connectors on both ends — no field termination required
• 100-foot assembly length suitable for moderate-distance RF runs
• Sold as a single cable assembly unit

Compatibility

Designed as a ready-to-install coaxial cable assembly for equipment with 50-ohm BNC-terminated inputs and outputs, typical of RF communication and signal distribution systems.

Installation Notes

This cable assembly is installed by low-voltage technicians or licensed electricians following applicable NEC guidelines for coaxial and communications wiring. Before connecting to any active RF equipment, ensure all transmitters and power sources are powered down. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of RG8 cable, as kinking will degrade signal integrity. Route cable away from high-voltage conductors to minimize interference.
