It's MCX
You need a pig-tail, like MCX-BNC or MCX-SO239 or MXC-TypeN and BNC/SO239/TypeN connector for you RG8X.
I also bought 24' of RG8X cable, going to install a OCFD dipole for 40/20 meters, will test with RTL-SDR + home brewed up converter. I put type-N connectors on the coax. To make my life easier I replaced MCX connector with SMA, the footprints of the connectors are absolutely identical (so you need just a soldering iron and a 90degrees SMA connector), however MCX is 75 Ohm but SMA is 50 Ohm, not that it really matters for the receiver.
