Absolutely! And this is true of ALL coax types. There's a lot of junk
floating around.

I found that not all RG-8X is created equal. For one project, I
measured 3 or 4 different brands of new RG-8X to find that the loss can
vary considerably. The measurement method was to use 50 ft, snake it
back an forth across the floor so as not to have adjacent coupling, the
ends fitted
The original post by W4KBX was this: "I’m seeking recommendations for
RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet."
You cannot defy physics and have low loss with 1/4" coax, no matter who
the manufacture is, but RG8X was his criteria.

Certainly some brands are better made, I use only Belden 9258.
Not quite. First, for at least 40 years, RG-numbers are NOT a specification

Me too!

Not quite. First, for at least 40 years, RG-numbers are NOT a
specification, but only a generic description of
to rodent damage which
will quickly increase your coax loss.
