Rugged Radios Thick Roof Antenna Coax Cable

A thick vehicle roof can leave too little mounting depth for an antenna mount designed for a thinner panel. Listed for: Vehicles with roofs up to 1/2 inch thick. Fitment is not guaranteed on unlisted applications. The Rugged Radios antenna coax cable uses a 3/8-inch NMO mount to secure the antenna and runs 17 feet to a standard UHF connector.
