🧱 What Affects RG213 Cable Pricing?
Several factors determine how much you’ll pay:
1. Shielding Quality
-
Basic copper braid = cheaper
-
High-coverage, dual-shielded (foil + braid) = more expensive
2. Jacket Material
-
PVC jacket: standard, indoor use
-
PE jacket: more costly, suitable for outdoor/UV/weather resistance
3. Conductor Type
-
Bare copper = higher performance, slightly higher price
-
CCA (copper-clad aluminum) = cheaper, but lower conductivity
4. Packaging & Logistics
-
Per-meter pricing is higher when sold on small spools or cut-to-length
-
Larger reels and container orders lower unit costs
📦 RG213 Per Meter vs. Per Roll: Which Is Cheaper?
If you’re comparing options:
| Buying Format | Typical Use | Price per Meter |
|---|---|---|
| 100m roll | Retail or hobbyist | $1.20–$1.60 |
| 500m–1000m roll | Commercial or OEM | $0.80–$1.10 |
| Factory bulk (≥5000m) | Export, large projects | $0.60–$0.85 |
Per-meter pricing always decreases with volume. That's why professionals often order by the roll or reel.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
💬 Is RG213 more expensive than RG58?
Yes. RG213 uses more copper, is larger in diameter, and supports higher power. It’s designed for long-distance, high-performance RF use.
💬 What’s the cheapest way to buy RG213?
Buy in bulk directly from a factory or distributor. Ordering 1000m or more significantly reduces the unit price.
💬 Can I buy RG213 by the meter?
Yes, but per-meter retail pricing is always higher. Many stores offer minimum 10–20 meter cuts, but pricing may reach $2.00/m or more.
