LMR -400 Flexible Low Loss Communications Coax ® Mechanical Specifications Performance Property Ideal for… •Drop-in replacement for RG-8/9913 Air-Dielectric type Cable •Jumper Assemblies in Wireless Communications Systems •Short Antenna Feeder runs •Any application (e.g. WLL, GPS, LMR, WLAN, WISP, WiMax, SCADA, Mobile Antennas) requiring an easily routed, low loss RF cable • Flexibility and bendability are hallmarks of the LMR400 cable design. The flexible outer conductor enables the tightest bend radius available for any cable of similar size and performance. • Low Loss is another hallmark feature of LMR-400.

The multi-ply bonded foil outer conductor is rated conservatively at > 90 dB (i.e. >180 dB between two adjacent cables). • Weatherability: LMR-400 cables designed for outdoor exposure incorporate the best materials for UV resistance and have life expectancy in excess of 20 years. • Connectors: A wide variety of connectors are available for LMR-400 cable, including all common interface types, reverse polarity, and a choice of solder or non-solder center pins. Most LMR connectors employ crimp outer attachment using standard hex crimp sizes. • Cable Assemblies: All LMR-400 cable types are available as pre-terminated cable assemblies. Refer to the section on FlexTech for further details. ® US Environmental Specifications • LMR standard is a UV Resistant Polyethylene jacketed cable designed for 20-year service outdoor use. The bending and handling characteristics are significantly better than air-dielectric and corrugated hard-line cables. • LMR - DB is identical to standard LMR plus has the advantage of being watertight. The addition of waterproofing compound in and around the foil/braid insures continuous reliable service should the jacket be inadvertently damaged during installation or in the future. • LMR - FR is a non-halogen (non-toxic), low smoke, fire retardant cable designed for in-building runs that can be routed anywhere except air handling plenums. LMR-FR is UL/NEC & CSA rated‘CMR’ and ‘FT4’ respectively, meets FAA FAR25 requirements and is MSHA-P for mining applications. • LMR - FR-PVC is a general-purpose indoor cable and has a UL/NEC & CSA rating of ‘CMR’ and ‘FT4’ respectively. It is less expensive than LMR-FR, however it emits toxic fumes (HCL) and greater smoke density when burned. • LMR - PVC is designed for low loss general-purpose applications and is somewhat more flexible than the standard polyethylene jacketed LMR. • LMR - PVC-W is a white-jacketed version of LMRP V C f o r m a r i n e a n d o t h e r a p p l i c a t i o n s where color compatibility is desired. ® Bend Radius: installation Bend Radius: repeated Bending Moment Weight Tensile Strength Flat Plate Crush Units (0.122290) • 3.9 5.1 5.7 6.0 6.8 10.8 1.20 0.83 0.58 0.44 0.40 0.37 0.33 0.21 Calculate Attenuation = FMHz + (0.000260) • FMHz (interactive calculator available at http://www.timesmicrowave.com/cable_calculators) Attenuation: VSWR=1.0 ; Ambient = +25°C (77°F) Power: VSWR=1.0; Ambient = +40°C; Inner Conductor = 100°C (212°F); Sea Level; dry air; atmospheric pressure; no solar loading (800) TMS-COAX • www.timesmicrowave.com 23 LMR-400 TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS (db per 100 feet) LMR-400 TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS LMR -400 Flexible Low Loss Communications Coax ® EZ-400-NF TC-400-NFC-BH (A) EZ-400-NF-BH TC-400-TM-X EZ-400-TM-X EZ-400-716M-X TC-400-TM-RA TC-400-NMC SC-400-NM EZ-400-NMH-X TC-400-NMH-X TC-400-SM TC-400-NMC-RA (A) TC-400-TM-RP EZ-400-TM-RP TC-400-TF-RP EZ-400-TF-RP TC-400-HNM-RA TC-400-MUHF EZ-400-UM EZ-400-716M-RA-X TC-400-NMH-RA-D TC-400-NFC EZ-400-NMK EZ-400-NMC-2 TC-400-BM EZ-400-NMH-RA-X TC-400-716MC TC-400-NM-RP TC-400-HNM TC-400-716FC Connectors Inner Outer Finish* Part StockVSWR** Coupling ContactContact BodyLength Width Interface Description Number Code Freq.(GHz) Nut Attach Attach /Pin in(mm) in(mm) 7-16 DIN Female Straight Jack TC-400-716-FC 3190-376 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Solder 1.13 (28.7) GK-S400TT Weight lb(g) Clamp S/S 1.6 (41) Spring FingerCrimp A/G 1.6(39.5) 1.38 (35) 0.277 (126.0) 0.268(121.6) Straight Plug EZ-400-716M-X 3190-2524 <1.25:1 (6) Hex 7-16 DIN Male Straight Plug TC-400-716-MC 3190-279 <1.25:1 (2.5) Hex Solder Clamp S/S 1.4 (36) 7-16 DIN Male Right Angle TC-400-716MC-RA 3190-1671 <1.25:1 (<3) Hex Solder Clamp A/S 2.4(61.5) 1.88 (47.8) 0.35 (159) 7-16DIN Male Right Angle EZ-400-716M-RA-X 3190-2545 <1.35:1 (6) Hex Spring FingerCrimp A/G 1.6(41.7) 1.75 (44.3) 0.374 (0.17) 0.063 (28.6) BNC Male Straight Plug TC-400-BM 3190-318 <1.25:1 (2.5) Knurl Solder Crimp N/S 1.7 (43) HN Male Straight Plug TC-400-HNM 3190-923 <1.25: (<1) Knurl Solder Clamp S/G 2.3(59.2) 0.88 (22.4) 0.25(113.4) HN Male Right Angle TC-400-HNM-RA 3190-2541 <1.25:1 (2.5) Hex Solder Crimp A/G 1.6(41.4) 1.56 (39.6) 0.198 (90.0) QDS Male Straight Plug TC-400-QDSM 3190-620 <1.25: (<3) Knurl Solder Clamp A/G 1.8(46.6) 1.00 (25.4) 0.25(113.4) Mini-UHF Straight Plug TC-400-MUHF 3190-520 <1.25:1 (2.5) Knurl Solder Crimp N/G 1.1 (28) 0.50 (12.7) 0.020 (9.1) N Female Straight Jack TC-400-NFC 3190-299 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Solder Clamp N/S 1.6 (41) 0.75 (19.1) 0.119 (54.0) Straight Jack EZ-400-NF 3190-956 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Straight Jack TC-400-NF 3190-2255 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Bulkhead Jack 3190-518 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Bulkhead JackTC-400-NFC-BH (A) 3190-872 <1.25:1 (2.5) NA Solder N Male Straight Plug 3190-1454 <1.25:1 (2.5) Knurl 3190-277 <1.25:1 (2.5) Knurl EZ-400-NF-BH SC-400-NM #
