  • Solid Bare Copper Conductor Maintains Low Resistance Across Long Coaxial Runs
  • Gas-Injected Polyethylene Insulation Supports High Velocity Of Propagation
  • Bonded Bifoil Aluminum Layer Provides Complete RF Signal Isolation
  • 90% Tinned Copper Braid Shield Adds Mechanical And Electrical Protection
  • PVC Jacket Rated For General Commercial In-Wall Installation (NEC CM)
  • 1000 ft Spool Format Simplifies Bulk Installation Project Procurement

The West Penn 98G8BK1000 is a 10 AWG solid bare-copper RG-8/U type 50-ohm coaxial cable built for demanding RF transmission, broadcast distribution, and wireless communication infrastructure. Its gas-injected polyethylene insulation maintains precise dielectric spacing, supporting an 84% nominal velocity of propagation for time-sensitive signal delivery across long cable runs in installed and touring environments.

The dual-shield design — bonded bifoil aluminum plus a 90% tinned copper braid — provides high-integrity RF isolation, making this cable well suited for antenna feedlines, transmitter-to-antenna runs, and RF distribution in broadcast facilities, houses of worship, stadiums, and touring productions. The PVC outer jacket handles the mechanical demands of fixed installation pathways while the CM NEC rating qualifies it for in-wall and general commercial use.

Supplied on a 1000 ft spool, this cable is a practical choice for integrators and broadcast engineers who need a reliable, termination-ready RG-8/U coaxial without sourcing from multiple vendors. West Penn's recommended mating connector is the CN-BM98G8, ensuring proper impedance continuity at each termination point.
