DXE-RADW-20RT/32RT/65RT Pre-Assembled, Radial Wire, with 1/4" ring Terminals, 20 Pack

 

The DXE-RADW-Radial Wire Kits include the highest quality 14 gauge stranded copper wire with a relaxed black PVC insulation 
for easy installation of your radial system.  They allow fast and easy installation of your radial ground system, and permit you to mix 
and match different length to fit the available space. The stranded wire and relaxed insulation mean that the wire will lay flat as you 
place it on the ground - easy to install. The twenty pre-cut radial wires include 1/4" ring terminals professionally crimped on one end 
for quick and easy attachment to the radial plate.  These Radial Wire Kits are designed for users of vertical antenna systems which 
have the need for a high quality radial system for optimum antenna performance. The 1/4" ring terminals are machine crimped for 
maximum grip.  Soldering is not required for strength, but is recommended if installed in corrosive environments such as salt spray. 

 

Packed 20 Radial Wires per package, 14 gage, stranded copper wire, Black relaxed PVC insulation, 1/4" 
Ring Terminal professionally crimped on each Radial Wire, 3 lengths to choose from: 20 Ft (-20RT), 32 
Ft (-32RT), 65 Ft (-65RT)  

 
 
 
 
 
 

DXE-STPL-100BD - Radial Wire Staple, Biodegradable, 3", 100 pack  

 

DX Engineering DXE-STPL-100BD is a 100-pack of 3” 

biodegradable

 anchors that are produced from recycled PLA 

(Polylactide Resin). Depending on the weather conditions, they will degrade in about a year. They are easily installed and 
will hold radial wires in place until lawn roots overtake them - and then disappear.  Ecologically friendly!  
 
 

DXE-225RT-20 - Ring terminal 16-14 Wire Gauge, 1/4" hole, 20-pack 

This is a set of 20 ring terminals for AWG #14 to 16 wire with a clearance hole for a 1/4" bolt.  These are the same crimp 
terminals supplied with the DXE Radial Wire Kits for #14 Radial and Antenna Wire.  

 
 
SUM-900031  -  Automatic Wire Stripper/Crimper/Cutter, 24-10 Ga.

 

Our DX Engineering wire stripper uses a spring-loaded design to make quick work of wires ranging from 24 to 10 
gauge.  Just insert the wire, squeeze the handle, and listen for the click. That’s the sound of another perfect wire 
stripping job performed in about 2 seconds- a fraction of the time it takes your pocket knife to do the same job. An 
adjustable wire length guide helps you make uniform strips, and a built-in wire cutter and crimper helps you 
complete your wiring job.
