"This is overall the best antenna wire in my opinion. When you want a heavy duty, long lasting antenna this is it. I will say that it doesn’t stand up to 100mph thunderstorm winds with falling and flying tree branches, but neither did the shed or clothesline near by. It was taking the wind just fine, but the flying wood bested it."
— Scott Y. (5/5)
Like everything i have seen
"Like everything i have seen from Chameleon, it is top shelf wire."
— Wade R. (5/5)
Strong yet stealthy
"This wire is heavy gauge but yet very stealthy in my HOA"
— David S. (5/5)
"I have been using this product for all my wire antennas. Very good weather resistance and tensile strenght compared to similar products used for the same purpose. very satisfied."
— Jojo (5/5)
CHA BULK WIRE 16GA
"This KEVLAR PTFE wire is of exceptional quality and highly recommended. More suitable for permanent installation as it is somewhat heavy for portable ops."
— STEVEN C. (5/5)
Great wire
"Great price and quality. Fast ship"
— Terry W. (5/5)
16GA antenna wire construction—nice
"16awg antenna wire + nice plastic winder … Interesting wire construction—insulated stranded/tinned copper with a separate line (kevlar?) molded to one side of the stranded core. Stranded core looks a bit smaller than 16awg, but I have no micrometer to measure. Should make a resilient, long lasting wire antenna."
— Brian M. (4/5)
CHA BULK WIRE 16GA
"Great rugged antenna wire!"
— Philip B. (5/5)
Chameleon Antenna wite
"This stuff is great! The color is perfect for concealing in non permissive environments. It compliments the low visibility products offered by Chameleon Antenna."
— Gary N. (5/5)
Best Antenna Wire
"Long time user of Chameleon products! This is the best antenna wire there is!"
— Trent C. (5/5)

A replacement, service, interface, or modular accessory for a documented product or system.
Why operators make room for it
CHA BULK WIRE 16GA: add the radiator or return path the documented system calls for
CHA BULK WIRE 16GA is a radiator or RF-return component used inside specific documented antenna configurations; it is not automatically a complete antenna by itself.
The 16 gauge Chameleon Antenna Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (-70°C to 150°C) wire has been designed by us for rugged and stealth needs and operations. It is used in all our wire and portable antenna systems such as the MPAS 2. 0 , MPAS lite , EMCOMM II , TD 2. 0 and many others.
CHA BULK WIRE 16GA becomes valuable when its exact radiator or RF-return role is understood. Confirm where it attaches, which feed or matching component it works with, what support is needed, and whether it serves as a complete antenna, alternate radiator, extension, radial, or counterpoise. That context helps an owner expand a field kit deliberately instead of buying duplicate one-purpose hardware.
Choose it when its specific job removes a real point of friction from the station, and confirm what else is required before ordering. The best next step is always a verified compatible component or documented expansion—not a random accessory that merely looks related.

Complete product details
BULK WIRE - 16ga
The 16 gauge Chameleon Antenna Tinned Copper KEVLAR PTFE (-70°C to 150°C) wire has been designed by us for rugged and stealth needs and operations. It is used in all our wire and portable antenna systems such as the MPAS 2.0, MPAS lite, EMCOMM II, TD 2.0 and many others.
Stranded tinned copper wire provides good electrical connectivity. The Extruded Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulation allows for use in high temperature electronic applications, and protects the wire against abrasion, chemicals, oils, and solvents. It also has excellent thermal aging, solder damage, flame, and moisture resistance. The wire conforms to MIL-spec specifications, and provides excellent uniformity for easy processing. The integrated KEVLAR fibers offer great strength, smooth surface, abrasion, heat and chemical resistant.
PROPERTIES:
Chemical:
High temperature range from -70°C to +150°C
Resistant against many solvents, hydraulic and transformer oils
Resistant against organic and inorganic chemicals
Non-flammable
Waterproof
Dirt-repellent–easy cleaning
Resistant against fungal and mold infestation
Extreme weatherproof against embrittlement and discoloration
Resistant against strong UV radiation (no material corrosion)
None aging
Low outgassing
Environmentally neutral, because chemically inert, because no additives like stabilizations, antioxidants or poisonous plasticizers which is contained in PVC • RoHS-compliant
Electrical:
High insulation resistance with comparatively thin insulation of the wire
High specific resistance
•ow dielectric constant
Very low dielectric loss factors • Relatively high power load
Mechanical:
Very high abrasion resistance and tensile strength
Very low static and sliding friction
Low weight because of thin isolation
High packing density because of thin insulation
