RG-8 Extension coaxial cables N-Type–QMA (2×15 m) are heavy-duty professional RF cables that provide better signal quality and reduced signal loss when connecting Avenger and Alientech DEIMOX antennas. RG-8 features an aluminum inner conductor with copper cladding, a foamed polyethylene dielectric, an outer conductor made of self-adhesive aluminum foil and tinned copper braid, and a black polyethylene jacket. The cable has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, capacitance of 78 pF/m, velocity factor of 85%, and a maximum operating frequency of up to 21 GHz. It weighs 80 g per meter, has a bend radius of 51 mm, and operates reliably in temperatures from –40°C to +80°C.
🫡 We are a team of veterans
We consider RG-8 a key component of the communication link between the controller and the active antenna. In real operations, cable losses are often the main source of signal degradation, which is why using RG-8 with stable 50-ohm impedance, high-quality shielding, and low attenuation directly affects range, stability, and reliability. This is critical for military UAV operators.

Commentary / comments
RG-8 offers clear advantages over thinner cables due to superior shielding and lower losses over long runs, which is especially important when used with high-power active directional antennas such as Avenger or Alientech DEIMOX. The aluminum inner conductor with copper cladding and foamed dielectric reduce dielectric losses, while dual shielding improves resistance to external interference.
🎯 Who it is suitable for
Primarily for military UAV operators, reconnaissance units, and special forces using active directional antennas like Avenger or Alientech DEIMOX who require minimal signal loss over long cable runs. It is also suitable for professional drone operators and engineering teams building reliable RF communication systems.
