LMR-100A TIMES MICROWAVE SYSTEMS LMR -100A Flexible Low Loss Communications Coax ® Ideal for… •Drop-in Replacement for RG-316/RG-174 (uses standard connectors) •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 • LMR - PVC is designed for low loss general-purpose indoor/outdoor applications and is somewhat more flexible than the standard polyethylene jacketed LMR. • LMR - PVC-W is a white-jacketed version of LMRConstruction Specifications PVC for marine and other indoor/outdoor applications Description Material In. (mm) where color compatibility is desired. Inner Conductor Solid BCCS 0.018 (0.46) Solid PE 0.060 (1.52) • Flexibility and bendability are hallmarks of the LMR- Dielectric Outer Conductor Aluminum Tape 0.065 (1.65) 100A cable design. The flexible outer conductor enables Overall Braid Tinned Copper 0.083 (2.11) the tightest bend radius available for any cable of similar Jacket (see table above) 0.110 (2.79) size and performance. Mechanical Specifications • Low Loss is another hallmark feature of LMR-100A. Performance Property Units US (metric) Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable Bend Radius: installation in. (mm) 0.25 (6.4) and comparable loss to semirigid hard-line cables. Bend Radius: repeated in. (mm) 1 (25.4) • RF Shielding is 50 dB greater than typical single Bending Moment ft-lb (N-m) 0.1 (0.014) shielded coax (40 dB). The multi-ply bonded foil outer Weight lb/ft (kg/m) 0.0092 (.014) conductor is rated conservatively at > 90 dB (i.e. >180 Tensile Strength lb (kg) 15 (6.8) Flat Plate Crush lb/in. (kg/mm) 10 (0.18) dB between two adjacent cables). • Weatherability: LMR-100A cables designed for Environmental Specifications Performance Property F C outdoor exposure incorporate the best materials for UV Installation Temperature Range -40/+185 -40/+85 resistance and have life expectancy in excess of 20 years. -94/+185 -70/+85 • Connectors: A wide variety of connectors are available Storage Temperature Range Operating Temperature Range -40/+185 -40/+85 for LMR-100A cable, including all common interface Electrical Specifications types, reverse polarity, and a choice of solder or non- Performance Property Units US (metric) solder center pins. Most LMR connectors employ crimp Velocity of Propagation % 66 outer attachment using standard hex crimp sizes. Dielectric Constant NA 2.30 • Cable Assemblies: All LMR-100A cable types are Time Delay nS/ft (nS/m) 1.54 (5.05) ohms 50 available as pre-terminated cable assemblies.
