The RG8 coaxial cable I ordered from Shopee in the Philippines on May 31, 2025 has finally arrived. Usually it takes 5 to 7 days to deliver, but this time it took 19 days to complete the delivery.
I ordered a 20m RG8 for 2,995 pesos (about 8,000 yen).
I immediately attached the PL259(M-type) connector. This connector is an M-type connector, which only requires soldering the core wire like an N-type connector. You can also purchase it from the Philippine online store Shopee.
This PL259(M-type) connector consists of seven parts
First, put the three parts from the left through the RG8. Then insert the fourth ring into the area where the black coating of the RG8 has been removed.
Unravel the RG8 wire and spread it along the ring. Then insert the fifth part inside the mesh wire.
After cutting the translucent insulation, insert the sixth part (the core wire) and solder it.
Cut the RG8 wire along the ring.
All you need to do is tighten it up with a wrench and you're done
