What is LMR-400 cable used for?

LMR-400 is an excellent cable for runs up to 50-70 feet in WiFi and Cellular use, and provides superior performance for HF/UHF/VHF installation up to 250 feet. The PE jacket used on LMR-400 makes it much tougher and able to stand abrasion and take a beating. It also makes it a bit less flexible.

How flexible is LMR 240?

Times Microwave | LMR-240-DB 1/4″ Flexible 50 Ohm Coax Cable Watertight Jacket. LMR- DB is identical to standard LMR plus has the advantage of being watertight.

Is LMR 240 the same as RG8X?

LMR-240 was made to replace RG8X. Signal loss using LMR-240 is 35% to 64% less than RG8X, with fluctuations depending on the overall distance the signal travels.

How big is a lmr-240 coax cable?

LMR-240 Coax is the same size as RG-8x or Mini-8 cable, about 1/4 inch in diameter. Although it is just a bit larger than LMR-195, LMR240 offers a significantly larger center conductor and supports better signal retention for longer cable runs and higher frequency use.

What makes the lmr-240 flexible low loss?

• Low Loss is another hallmark feature of LMR-240. Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable and comparable loss to semirigid hard-line cables. • RF Shielding is 50 dB greater than typical single shielded coax (40 dB).

Which is better lmr-240 or rg-8x?

LMR-240®coaxial cable provides excellent performance, but yet is under 0.25 inch in diameter. It is the same size as RG-8X, but with better specifications. Because of its solid center conductor, it is rather stiff. Universal also carries the more flexible LMR-240 Ultraflex®. LMR® is a registered trademark of Times Microwave Systems.

What is the RF shielding of a LMR 200 coax cable?

LMR 200 coax cable has an attenuation at 1 GHz of 10.5 dB, RF shielding of 90 dB and the max frequency of 5.8 GHz.
