12 ft CB antenna cable with PL-259 ends
This coaxial cable measures twelve feet and carries PL-259 connectors on both ends. It is built for single CB antenna installations that use an SO-239 stud mount. The stranded centre conductor keeps the line flexible for routing around a vehicle.
Low-loss construction for steady signal
A stranded centre conductor and 144 braided copper strands form a low-loss path that resists degradation during extended transmit sessions. The soldered PL-259 joints maintain consistent contact resistance so the SWR does not drift as the cable warms. The clear jacket lets you inspect the braid for damage after long-term vibration.
Simple screw-on fit for SO-239 studs
Each PL-259 connector threads directly onto an SO-239 stud mount without adapters or special tools. The stranded core bends around tight cab corners but can kink if forced into a radius tighter than the cable naturally allows. Over-tightening the connector can strip the SO-239 threads, so hand-tight plus a quarter turn is sufficient.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 ft cable run hot or draw extra power during all-day CB use?
The cable is passive coaxial wire with no active electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of how long the radio transmits.
What antenna mount must I already have for the PL-259 plugs to connect?
You need a single CB antenna fitted with an SO-239 stud mount; each end of the cable carries a soldered PL-259 connector that threads onto that 239 socket.
Can I keep my older CB radio that uses a standard 239 antenna port?
Yes, the PL-259 connectors on this 12 ft mini-8 coax mate directly with any radio or antenna presenting a 239 socket, so legacy equipment works without adapters.
