As far as I can remember, RG-8X has always had a stranded center conductor. As for connectors, I always used a standard PL-259 with the threaded reducer for RG-59. I've never seen a crimp for RG-8X.

The lack of supplied schematics is bothersome!

I shared the effusive praise opinion for DXE until a recent transaction. I purchased RG8X 
cable and ordered Crimp/Crimp connectors to go with. The connectors supplied were for old 
style solid conductor 8X cable, and their DXE brand coax with a stranded center conductor 
would not fit into the center crimp. When contacted, their only response was “So, what 
do you expect us to do about it?” They would offer no solution, and were very rude on 
the phone.

I will not do business with them again.
