Antenna cable ShiverPeaks 80208-128-GS, 100% shielded, gold-plated connectors

The ShiverPeaks 80208-128-GS antenna cable is a 10 m RF connection lead engineered for reliable signal transmission between antennas and radio equipment. Its construction features full 100% shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated connector contacts to improve corrosion resistance and electrical contact quality. The outer jacket is black and the cable includes a sheath current filter to further suppress unwanted currents and maintain signal integrity across telecommunications, amateur radio and GPS installations.

Advantages

The complete shielding provides high attenuation of external noise and helps maintain consistent signal quality even in environments with strong electromagnetic disturbance. Gold-plated connector contacts resist corrosion and ensure long-term low-resistance connections. The integrated sheath current filter reduces common-mode currents on the cable outer conductor, lowering the risk of interference and improving overall RF performance. A 10 m length gives flexibility in device placement without introducing unnecessary connection points.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications base stations and antenna feeder lines
• Amateur (ham) radio setups and transceiver connections
• GPS and GNSS antenna installations requiring stable signal paths
• RF test benches and laboratory measurement setups

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Shielding: 100% braided and/or foil shielding for >100 dB attenuation
• Connector contacts: gold-plated for corrosion resistance and improved conductivity
• Sheath current filter: included to suppress common-mode currents
• Color: black outer jacket

How to use

Connect one end of the ShiverPeaks antenna cable to the antenna’s output and the other end to the radio, transceiver or receiver input. Ensure connectors are tightened securely but do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads or contacts. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-power AC wiring to reduce induced interference. When installing outdoors, use appropriate cable glands and weatherproofing at connector interfaces to protect against moisture ingress.

Recommendations

For best performance, regularly inspect connector contacts for dirt or corrosion and clean with appropriate contact cleaner if necessary. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain a gentle bend radius; secure the cable with non-abrasive ties. If the installation is in a high-RF or industrial environment, consider grounding practices for the antenna system and use surge protection where applicable to protect equipment and preserve signal integrity.
