Sea-Dog Cable Outlet 5/16 in RG8X Chrome Brass
Sea-Dog Cable Outlet 5/16 in RG8X Chrome Brass — Product description
The Sea-Dog cable outlet is a chrome-plated brass deck fitting that passes a 5/16 inch RG8X coax cable through your deck or cabin top while keeping water out. It uses a single compression seal and a knurled nut you tighten by hand.
Running a VHF antenna lead or any 5/16 inch RG8X coax below deck means drilling a hole, and that hole has to stay dry. That's what this Sea-Dog cable outlet is for. It's a chrome-plated brass fitting that passes the cable through your deck or cabin top and seals around it, so spray and rain don't track down the line and into the boat.
The seal is a single compression design. You feed the coax through, snug the knurled nut down by hand, and the fitting clamps tight around the jacket. No special tools, no fussing with a wrench in a tight spot. The brass body is chrome plated, so it holds up to salt air and keeps that bright silver finish that matches the rest of your deck hardware.
It's sized specifically for 5/16 inch RG8X cable, the common coax for marine VHF and antenna runs. If your cable measures to that, this is a clean, simple way to get it through the deck and keep the water topside where it belongs.

Frequently asked questions
What cable size does this outlet fit?
It's sized for 5/16 inch RG8X coax, the cable commonly used for marine VHF antenna runs. Measure your cable's outside diameter before ordering to make sure it matches.
What's the fitting made of?
Chrome-plated brass. The brass body stands up to salt air, and the chrome plating gives it a bright silver finish that matches standard deck hardware.
Do I need tools to tighten it?
No. It uses a knurled nut you snug down by hand, which makes it easy to install even in a tight spot where you can't swing a wrench.
How does it keep water out?
It uses a single compression seal. As you tighten the knurled nut, the fitting clamps around the cable jacket so spray and rain can't track down the line into the boat.
