Do you need your signal to reach farther across both upper and lower frequency bands?
Frustrated by signals dropping or not reaching the spot you need to complete that last contact during a contest?
Bought an expensive antenna and it doesn't seem to make your signal any stronger?
Antennas and cables are a system
, having a
good antenna and a cheap cable
will make getting the signal strength you need impossible.  Not being able to get solid UHF/VHF or Microwave coverage for Ham or CB where you need it is aggravating.  Home and Commercial users as well as the Military have used our cables for years to provide connectivity to critical areas where the signal has to get through.
Dependability. Efficiency. Quality. These are the guiding principles behind 50 ohm Times Microwave LMR-400 Transmission line Coax Antenna cable. Made with pride in the USA, this cable is made from quality components to ensure the optimal signal extension for your contacts.  If signal strength and consistency are your concerns, this coax cable meets all your needs. It is made to exacting Times Microwave LMR specifications (
download the spec sheet below
) and is designed to carry the strongest possible signal to your antenna. When it comes to transmission quality and peace of mind, nothing beats our coax.
Most eBay sellers antenna cables are simply cheap Times Microwave or Andrew copies
.
Our US-made products use high-precision quality control and mission critical attention to detail. If you're looking for high quality Times Microwave compliant products, buy our 50 ohm Coax Antenna cable today and see the difference.

Take a LOOK
Whats the big deal about
LOSS
anyway? I'm buying a
high
DB Gain Antenna!
If you think that simply buying a cheap "high" DB gain antenna is good enough to guarantee a strong signal think again! Your antenna and cable is a system. Paring your antenna with wimpy RG-58 or Cheap Commie Cable can result in more transmission loss than your antenna gains.
This is especially important when you are working with Low Power or in areas of
interference
. With the wrong cable you will loose more than your antenna gains and go nowhere.
Your cable directly affects signal strength!
If a seller doesn't say
exactly
what his cable specs are
Watch Out
For Contests, Pulling in that weak signal at a critical time, Reaching out in Emergencies or just talking to friends, the quality of your cable and its transmission loss is critical.
RG-174 and poor quality RG-58 or junk coax sold on eBay may keep you from your goal to achieve reliable, repeatable contacts.  Check out our quality LMR-240 and LMR-400 cables and how much signal they save you on the table to the right. For LMR coax shown Loss is measured only on Genuine Times Microwave or Andrew / Commscope coaxial cable.

Please see the fine print!
The Fine Print
:
If you cut it up you keep it.
Cable should be in "like new" condition, teeth marks/burns/slices etc. are not acceptable.  Please don't run it up a tower and scrape/fray it then change your mind.  Run all tests while still coiled.
If we have installed custom non-stock connectors at your request we will not refund the price of the new connector we installed for you.
If
you
have installed custom connectors we will not refund what you paid for them.
Coax Connector types and gender are Extremely Confusing!
Please take a minute to look at the pictures to make sure you order the right ones.
The ability of your antenna system to pull in the contacts you want to reach is what we provide thru high quality cables.  If you need to connect to systems in hard to reach areas or pull in the strongest possible signal to get the highest quality connections try our cables!
N Connectors or Good Old PL-259 -
Big Difference
!
At one time all connectors were Un-Matched.  On top of that, they leaked!
Then along came the N Type Connector...
In order to meet the needs of increased power and reliability standards required by the Military in WWII The N connector was born. The old PL-259 was Non Matched (Impedance that is) which is Not a Good Thing increasing loss significantly at higher frequencies. In addition, since it was never designed to be watertight it required additional maintenance and waterproofing to provide acceptable service. N connectors were the first to be impedance matched to the equipment and cable resulting in lower insertion and transmission losses. With high quality N connectors having watertight silicone gaskets and tight tolerances waterproofing transmission line connections is much simpler.
Most of the world has moved to higher standard connectors than the PL-259. If your equipment allows we recommend transitioning.
If you don't know which connector you need
Please Ask

LMR-400 Coaxial Cable Info
The
Times Microwave 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.
•
Flexibility and bend ability
are hallmarks of the LMR-400 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. Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable
and comparable loss to semi rigid hard-line cables.
•
RF Shielding
is 50 dB greater than typical single shielded coax (40 dB). The multiply bonded foil outer
conductor is rated conservatively at > 90 dB (i.e. >180 dB between two adjacent cables).
• Weather ability: 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.
Is the cable you are looking at Described as
"Compare to" "Replacement for" or "Same as" or even "Like"
Times Microwave LMR-400?  This is common with poor quality cable made in Mainland China or some other lesser known locations.  Our Times Microwave LMR-400 cable is US Made, tested and certified to ensure you will maintain the boost in signal from your quality antennas. 1/2 (.405) inch Cable is perfect for runs when you don't want to loose signal strength but it isn't cheap, so please choose a product that will last for 20+ years and give you the service you require.
Don't Buy Cheap Cable!
What many folks fail to realize is that poor quality antenna cable will cost you all the gain you obtain from installing an external antenna or relocating your antenna to a better location.  Badly made or wimpy 1/8 or 1/4 inch cable can cost you up to a Db a foot at microwave freqs!
Most of the listings for LMR-400 cable here on eBay are
not
.  When you read carefully you will find that the cable is not Times Micro, Not made in the US, and not guaranteed by a free return shipping policy if it doesn't meet your needs.

Testing Results for US Made LMR
Coaxial Cable
Attenuation (Signal Loss) per 100/ft - (lower numbers are better)
Attention
: There are many Chinese companies quoting the same specs as Times Microwave and Andrew / Commscope Coaxial cable.
There are some issues with this:
Cheaper grades of cable may
Start
with the same loss but quickly degrade over time with significant signal loss.
The Inner foil layer below the braided shield is bonded to the foam dielectric in a patented process that prevents signal leakage and moisture infiltration
Only
on US Made Times Microwave Coaxial Cable.
True
Mil Spec testing criteria is not followed by many Chinese offshore producers and when retested by UL cable has repeatedly failed to pass muster.
When subjected to
standardized
quality testing - Jacket materials, Copper alloys, and Dielectric Foam have been found to be adulterated and containing contaminants.
While there
are
quality Coaxial Cable producers in China and other offshore locations they mainly produce cable for major brand name retailers who provide their own quality control, and do not sell off cable under "generic" or off brand names.

ALL international shipping is done via USPS Air Mail. You can check the rates for your location at USPS.Com and just add to the direct cost to pay for our packaging and transport. I can ship other ways but the cost is
much
more expensive.  Shipping to Canada is double for signature items with tracking numbers and delivery to Europe and Australia is more than triple the USPS Air Mail cost.  In most cases it is not cost effective to buy my items and pay three times the price to ship them...  For more expensive items over I will offer the option of tracked shipping but in most cases you will be better off buying locall
