West Penn Wire WP-2598G8BM-150 RG8 50 Ohm Bnc Coax

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE WP-2598G8BM-150 is a 150-foot RG8 coaxial cable assembly rated at 50 ohms with factory-terminated BNC connectors and a plenum-rated jacket. Designed for signal transmission in low-loss RF and data applications, this pre-assembled coax run simplifies installation by eliminating field termination of the connectors. The plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where building codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant materials. Technicians and low-voltage installers specify this type of assembly when a consistent, tested termination is needed without additional crimping or soldering on site.

This cable assembly is used in commercial and institutional settings where RG8 50-ohm coaxial runs are required in plenum spaces, including above drop ceilings and through air ducts. It is well-suited for RF antenna distribution, two-way radio backbone cabling, and similar signal routing applications. The factory-terminated BNC ends allow for direct connection to compatible equipment without additional hardware at the termination points.

Key Features

• 50-ohm impedance for low-loss RF signal transmission
• RG8 coaxial construction with shielded plenum-rated jacket
• Pre-assembled with BNC connectors on both ends for plug-and-play installation
• 150-foot length eliminates splicing on standard commercial runs
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated RG8 50-ohm BNC coaxial cable assembly for use with equipment accepting standard BNC male terminations in commercial low-voltage and RF signal distribution systems.

Installation Notes

This cable assembly should be installed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC article requirements for plenum-rated cabling. De-energize all connected equipment before making coaxial connections. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of RG8 cable, as this can degrade signal integrity. Verify that the BNC connectors are fully seated and locked at both ends before restoring power or signal to the circuit.
