After CQ Cep, the system CX Cep has the shortest orbital period known among Galactic WR+O binaries. However, no definitive spectroscopic study is yet available for CX Cep, probably because of its relatively faint magnitude (B ≈ 13). We have therefore obtained and analyzed some 60 CCD spectra (3700-4900 Å, S/N ⋍ 100, 5 Å/2 pixels) in August and October 1987.
