MPD Digital MILSPEC RG-213 Coaxial Jumper Ham CB UHF Male 3 Ft Coax Patch Cable PL-259 Connectors - Made in the USA (TM) RG213 213 M17/163A RG-213U 3ft pl259 Jumper

The US made cable RG-213 is a superior coax. I had two different cable ends on mine. The heat shrink is paper thin and it slides down the coax from the PL-259. If you have some Amazon 4 to 1 heat shrink to replace the thin non adhesive used by MPD Digital I think this would be a superior cable. The term "MILSPEC" should not be used as a reference. It only means made in the USA. Not better or worse than made in timbucktoo. Caveat emptor.

I bought three MILSPEC RG-213 jumpers for use with a Workman CX-3 three-way COAX antenna switch, so I could stop having to unplug and switch my single COAX line between multiple radios in my shack. I live in a neighborhood with strict covenants that don't permit me the luxury of running multiple antennas and feed lines, so I have a single low-profile dipole hidden up under the roof edge and a good tuner. It's not ideal from a technical standpoint, but it gets the job done without antagonizing the neighbors. The enemy in any RF application is signal loss, so I was looking for something that could cover the short runs from the CX-3 switch to the back of my rigs without major performance penalties. This product really hits the target. The delivery time from "click" to "it's here" was very reasonable, and the product came well packaged. These jumpers are heavy-duty no-kidding military grade (I retired after 20 years of active duty and used cables just like these on the job to hook up all kinds of MILSPEC radios), which means they're durable and high-grade low-loss jumpers. On the other hand, the inherent stiffness that comes from this grade of quality material RF-wise means they're a bit stubborn about not wanting to position themselves easily. That's the trade-off: lower-grade cables are easier to bend and shape, but may not give you the RF performance you need, especially if you're running a higher power linear amplifier. These guys can handle the RF load without breaking a sweat, but you'll need some twist-ties or zip strips to get them to stay where you want them.

It was exactly what I needed and it came on time

We purchased this 25' jumper to replace a failed coax on the roof, which is a very hostile environment for antennas. This is a well made, solid cable with good connectors.

I bought 2 for my setup. Quality cable and connectors, shipped right away. Came in separate boxes which was strange, but they came on time. I recommend the seller and these jump cables for any ham/cb operator.
