Marine Coax(ial) Cable for VHF Radios by Shakespeare
Marine coax cable is the lifeline between your VHF radio and antenna, and the right choice can make or break your signal. Designed to withstand salt, sun, and vibration, these cables offer low-loss performance and rugged durability for life at sea.
-
RG-8X – A flexible favorite for runs under 50 feet, perfect for center consoles and smaller boats.
-
RG-213/U – A heavier-duty option with improved durability and lower loss than RG-8X.
-
LMR-400 – The gold standard for long cable runs and high-performance installs—ideal for sailboats with masthead antennas.
Choose marine-grade coax with tinned copper shielding and pair it with weatherproof connectors for a rock-solid connection when you need it most.
