Rugged Radios NMO-MT-13 13-Foot NMO Mount Coax Antenna Cable 3/8" Thread Hole

The Rugged Radios NMO-MT-13 is a 13-foot NMO mount coaxial antenna cable designed for reliable two-way radio communication in off-road, UTV, and mobile radio applications. Featuring a nickel-plated brass NMO mount and upgraded, more durable cabling, this assembly delivers a secure and weather-tight connection built to handle demanding environments.

Key Features:

• 13-foot RG-58 coaxial cable — tinned copper braid (95%), solid insulation, and stranded tinned copper center conductor for low-loss signal transmission
• Crimped NMO connection — 360-degree crimp provides a more secure, weather-tight seal for long-term reliability
• Nickel-plated brass NMO mount — corrosion-resistant construction for durability in harsh off-road conditions
• UHF (PL-259) connector on the radio end — compatible with Rugged Radios and other radios using the standard UHF connector
• Works with VHF and UHF applications — versatile for GMRS, business band, ham radio, and other two-way radio setups
• Requires a 3/8" thread hole for panel or roof mounting
• Backed by a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty

Cable Length Selection Note: For best performance, choose a cable length that runs the distance from your radio to the antenna without leaving excess slack. Coiling or overlapping coaxial cable will negatively affect radio performance. If excess cable is unavoidable, route it in straight lines rather than coiling.

Installation Tip: Do not overtighten the NMO nut or antenna onto the NMO connector. The center conductor inside the NMO antenna stud can be damaged by overtightening. When installing the NMO nut, hold the wrench vertically to reduce torque.

Formerly sold under part number NMO-MT-U. This cable is an ideal replacement or upgrade cable for UTVs, trucks, Jeeps, and other vehicles equipped with Rugged Radios communication systems.
