It is useful when planning antenna placement on an off-road vehicle and you need a cable run that follows the chassis and reaches the antenna without a large bundle of excess coax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe assembly uses a nickel-plated brass NMO mount and a crimped connection designed to provide a secure, weather-resistant joint. Rugged specifies VHF and UHF use and a 3\/8-inch mounting hole. Measure the intended route before choosing a length, and follow Rugged’s guidance to route excess cable in straight runs rather than coils or overlapping loops. Avoid overtightening the NMO nut or antenna, which can damage the center conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) Antenna coax cable assembly with NMO mount in selected length\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"details\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"details__header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"svg-wrapper icon-plus\"\u003e\u003csvg width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewbox=\"0 0 14 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath class=\"vertical\" d=\"M2.75 7H11.25\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"var(--icon-stroke-width)\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath class=\"horizontal\" d=\"M7 2.75L7 11.25\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"var(--icon-stroke-width)\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"details-content rte\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"custom-specs-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer \/ brand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRugged Radios\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNMO-MT-13, NMO-MT-15, NMO-MT-17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoaxial Cables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePrimary Application\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVHF\/UHF mobile antenna installations; Custom off-road radio wiring; UTV antenna cable routing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLengths \/ SKUs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 feet: NMO-MT-13; 15 feet: NMO-MT-15; 17 feet: NMO-MT-17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVHF \/ UHF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNickel-plated brass NMO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNMO connection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrimped\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRequired mounting hole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"details\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"details__header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"svg-wrapper icon-plus\"\u003e\u003csvg width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewbox=\"0 0 14 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\u003e\u003cpath class=\"vertical\" d=\"M2.75 7H11.25\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"var(--icon-stroke-width)\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath class=\"horizontal\" d=\"M7 2.75L7 11.25\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"var(--icon-stroke-width)\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"details-content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVHF\/UHF mobile antenna installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom off-road radio wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTV antenna cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a compatible NMO antenna and radio connection.
