I just purchased some RG-8X and some 'crimp/solder' connectors from these fine folks. Excellent price, and super fast delivery.

I wanted to mention one 'tidbit' about the Chinese RG-8X jumper cables seen everywhere. These are the ones with the molded rubber at the PL-259. I have used these for short jumpers for HF, and never had any issues.
The other day, I accidently ripped off one connector. I was kinda shocked how poor they were made. The cable itself has very little copper braid, but it does have an aluminum shield.
The RG-8X I purchased from cablesonline has a nice 95% shield and a multi-strand center conductor.
The braid is important when doing the crimp.

Just a happy customer!!!
