Rugged Radios Antenna Coax Cable with 3/8 NMO Mount - 15ft

Rugged Radios 15 Ft Antenna Coax Cable with 3/8 NMO Mount, a popular NMO cable mount option, now has durable cabling, a nickel-plated brass NMO mount, and 15' of total cable length. The coax cable features a crimped NMO connection, creating a secure, weathertight connection for reliability and durability. Appropriate for VHF and UHF applications, this cable mount requires a 3/8in thread hole. It is suitable for mounting applications where a thicker roof is present, requiring an NMO mount up to 1/2in thick.

Which length is right for you?

You ideally want a coax cable length that runs the distance from your radio to the antenna without leaving any excess cabling. Coiling or overlapping coax cable will dramatically affect radio performance. If you have more cable than you need, run the excess cable in straight lines without coiling or overlapping.

The 15' length is the most popular cable Rugged Radios offer and used for most UTV applications. However, Rugged offers both a 13' and 17' option.

Note: The center conductor inside the NMO antenna stud is not solid metal and can be damaged if overtightened. As shown in the photo above, when installing the NMO nut, we recommend holding the wrench vertically to reduce torque and overtightening.
