Description

LMR-400-PVC

LMR-400-PVC cable, Manufactured by Times Microwave systems is designed for low loss general-purpose applications and is more flexible than the standard polyethylene jacketed LMR-400.

The LMR range is recognised globally as the industry standard ultra low loss, flexible, low cost, lightweight, DC – 6GHz coaxial cable solution for many RF applications. This is also backed up by the best warranty and technical support in the business.

LMR-400-PVC has excellent reliability, unsurpassed flexibility and ultra low attenuation. The LMR-400-PVC cable has loss figures comparable to the extremely rigid corrugated coaxial cables however manages to achieve similar flexibility to that of high loss RG Cables. LMR-400-PVC is around 40% lower attenuation than RG-8, RG 213, RG 214 and 9913 Air-Dielectric type Cables.

How is the LMR-400-PVC low loss figures achieved?

This is achieved due to the cable construction specifications. The centre conductor uses a high conductivity, Bare copper clad covered aluminium centre conductor material. The dielectric is nitrogen injected, foamed, closed cell, Polyethylene which helps achieve 84% Velocity of Propagation. The Dielectric has a Aluminium foil outer conductor, which is chemically bonded on to it. Due to the cable construction, The attenuation is significantly lower as compared to single shielded coaxial cables: RF shielding of LMR-400-PVC is > 90 db as compared to 40 dB for RG8.

Outer Jacket

The LMR-400-PVC comes with a black PVC Jacket. This gives additional flexibility over the LMR-400 PE Jacket.

Frequency Operating Band

LMR-400-PVC is designed to operate excellent from DC – 6GHz. For any frequency band at VHF and above LMR is the obvious choice.

Should you find your RF system operates at above 1GHz, LMR is once again, your best option, as RG cable typically isn’t compatible with any frequency in excess of 1GHz.

 Applications

 LMR-400-PVC Flexible Low Loss Communications Coaxial Cable is ideal for:
