What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and reliability of the Ancor RG 213 cable. The tinned copper conductors are a major highlight, ensuring excellent signal integrity and superior corrosion resistance, which is crucial for marine and demanding applications. Users feel confident installing this cable knowing it will perform reliably for years without degradation. While it is recognized as a premium investment, the consensus is that the long term durability and robust construction strongly justify the higher price point, making it a top choice for serious installations.
Know before you buy
Tinned copper is coated with a thin layer of tin to prevent oxidation and corrosion. This makes the cable significantly more durable in humid or marine environments where standard copper would degrade over time.
The 96% braid provides a dense physical shield around the inner conductor. This high level of coverage is essential for rejecting electromagnetic interference and maintaining signal integrity in environments with high electronic noise.
Yes, the jacket is UV-inhibited, which prevents the material from becoming brittle or cracking when exposed to direct sunlight over long periods. It is specifically engineered to maintain its integrity in harsh outdoor conditions.
No, the tinned copper components are specifically designed to be solder-friendly. The tin coating allows the solder to flow and bond more easily than it would on bare, oxidized copper.
RG 213 is a high-quality, low-loss coaxial cable that offers better signal retention over long distances compared to thinner cables like RG 58. It is the ideal choice if you need to minimize signal degradation across the full 250-foot length.
