Great Cable! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Currently, all of my feedlines at my station are DXE coax assemblies. They are very well-put together. I am no longer concerned about hand-soldered PL-259s failing after a few years use.

DX Enginering cabling Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very pleased with the quality of the 213 coax cable and connectors purchased from DX Engineering. No need to look further than DX Engineering for ham station and antenna cabling.

Good product great service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
If I have an order and want it quick DX Engineering is the place. I live about 50 miles away. I can call in the afternoon and get the product the next day. I ordered this coax and connector on Friday and they were delivered Saturday morning Fedx with no shipping charges!

100 ft. RG8X Cable Assembly Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I needed coax for a winter antenna project and after shopping around QST, I decided DX Engineering offered the best combination of quality and price.

What really impressed me was the speed of delivery. I had my coax three days after ordering it. The product is excellent and I especially like the teflon weatherproofing on the connectors.

In my 59 years of building antennas, I've always soldered my own PL-259s. Never again; hello DXE!

Outstanding!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I had decided to rewire my station after 8 years. After looking at the reviews for coaxial cable assemblies, I decided to order my RG-8X jumpers from DX Engineering. I was very pleased with everything. The online ordering went smoothly and everything was delivered within 2 days. The quality of the assemblies were top notch and I experienced no problems with any of them.

I was so impressed, I placed another order for grounding straps with DX Engineering within a week of the first order! Those were top rate as well!

They mean what they sell and sell what they mean!! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have bought a variety of supplies from these folks over the years; most recently RG8X jumpers but also RF beads, baluns, connectors, etc. Everything I have bought from them performs as advertised and the quality is apparent the moment you take it out of the box or bag. These folks fill a unique niche in the ham radio market in that they sell things that I have thought about home brewing but neither have the time to brew and most certainly would not be half the quality of what I would end up trying to build if I did. Great merchandise with service and expertise after the sale. Difficult to beat and an example to be followed by all ham radio manufacturers/ merchandisers out there.

high power breakdown Time Owned: more than 12 months.
great cables.however i had a problem with a jumper on the power side of amp.The connecter only touches 1/2 of the terminal causing arcing after continued high wattage.If you look at the 259 you will see a barrel? over the main element.Should be one piece for high power.I had arcing on the amp and the power meter.I still use their cable running to my ants with no problem.I soldered new pl 259's on the jumper and cured the problem.

bulk and connectorized Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Pretty much a great value for your money, and made in the USA stamped on the jacket!.

I have ordered and use bulk rg213,8u, and 8x cable from them, and connector-ized versions of the same and have nothing but excellent results. The workmanship of the cables with pl259s installed is first class, the shrink tubing is an added touch for weatherproofing.

The cable MAY be a few pennies more than the offshore brands, but you know you will have high quality coax from dx engineering and customer support to back up all their products

service and quality Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been using DX engineering for my coax needs for some time now. What I like is the ease of just picking up the phone and making a call. The staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful all the time I call.I have been using the DXE-400MAXDUO and it fills my every need. I am making DX my cable store without a doubt. They have always had quality products.
