One way to check the specs would be to look at the third party adapters that claim to work with Netgear devices.
You can find suitable adapters in all the usual places. Some list compatibility with different Netgear hardware.
My experience that Netgear uses the same adapters for most similar devices.
Nighthawk x8 doesn't tell us what device you own. (R8500 perhaps?) So at a guess any RXXXX router will have the same tip size.
