Ω low-loss

cables (RG-8X or equivalent).

Shure recommends the following coaxial cables for mounting
remote antennas:

•

UA825 Extension Cable (7.6 m [25 ft])

•

UA850 Extension Cable (15.2 m [50 ft])

•

NOTE: Shure recommends using the UA830WB In-Line Amplifier
with gain selector switch, for cable lengths longer than
7.6 m ([25 ft]).
