Coaxial cable RG8XW is used in the transmission of communications signals. Frequently, audio, video, or network signals. You will recognize these cables if you have looked at the back of your cable box or modem. Most people don't even know that the real name of these cables is actually coaxial. Many people call them coax. So, what does coax, or coaxial mean?

The term coaxial means the cable has two concentric conductors separated by insulating material. The inner conductor is contained by a cylindrical material that insulates it. This material is then surrounded by a conducting shield. In certain cases, there may even be another insulating layer after the shield. Most commonly, the inner conductor carries the signal carrying voltage while the shield is kept at ground potential. One advantage of this design is that magnetic and electric fields are bound within the insulating material. This reduces leakage outside the shield.

So what is RG8XW? Well, this style of coax is often used for single antenna installations. It can also be used for jumpers when close pieces of equipment need to be connected. You may hear of this cable as being referred to as "Mini-8". This cable will always possess a stranded center which distinguishes it from most other types of coax. It will handle high wattage and offers multiple benefits such as higher propagation velocity. Generally, this cable is more than what the average user will require. However, if you are looking to have a strong setup, then this cable is for you. If you have any questions about RG8XW, contact a Pacer expert today.
