West Penn Wire WP-807BMBM-100 RG8X Bnc Cable 50 Ohm Cmr

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE WP-807BMBM-100 is a pre-terminated RG8X coaxial cable assembly with BNC male connectors on both ends, rated for 50-ohm impedance and classified CMR (riser-rated) for in-building vertical cable runs. At 100 feet in length, this assembly is built for low-loss RF signal transmission in demanding installation environments. The RG8X construction offers a smaller diameter than standard RG8 while maintaining solid RF performance, making it a practical choice where conduit fill or routing flexibility is a consideration. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians typically specify this cable for antenna feedlines, two-way radio infrastructure, and related RF distribution systems.

This cable assembly is suited for commercial and light industrial applications where a riser-rated, 50-ohm coaxial run is required between RF equipment and antennas or distribution points. The CMR jacket rating makes it compliant for use in riser pathways per NEC Article 820 without requiring conduit in those spaces. Typical installations include base station antenna feedlines, in-building distributed antenna systems, and RF test bench setups where a pre-made, ready-to-terminate assembly saves field labor.

Key Features

• 50-ohm impedance matched to standard RF and two-way radio equipment
• RG8X construction delivers reduced diameter versus full RG8 for easier routing
• BNC male connectors factory-terminated on both ends for plug-and-play installation
• CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 820 requirements for vertical in-building runs
• 100-foot assembly length reduces field termination time and potential connection points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use assembly for 50-ohm RF systems requiring BNC male-to-male coaxial interconnects in riser-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Article 820 coaxial cabling requirements. Verify that the riser pathway is free of sharp edges that could damage the outer jacket before pulling the cable. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of RG8X coax, as overbending can degrade impedance characteristics and signal integrity. Power down any connected RF equipment before connecting or disconnecting BNC terminations.
