LMR400 Cable High Quality US Made !

eBay is allowing sellers to List cable in the titles and description as LMR-400 when it is NOT. Don't buy without asking if a product is Genuine Times Microwave not a cheap Chinese copy. Copper prices are rising and some off shore producers are being caught using substandard alloys and less metal in the cables. We have ordered cable from others and weighed equal lengths of their and our Times Micro. 50 feet of off brand weighs a half pound less. Maybe because Tin and Aluminum weigh less than Copper...

Coaxial cable design choices affect physical size, frequency performance, attenuation, power handling capabilities, flexibility, strength and cost. Skinny cable has less metal to conduct your signal and causes more loss. Cheap thin badly made cable can result in even the best antenna being worse than useless. Without the proper transmission line you can lose more signal than you gain from the antenna. 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 Microwave, Not made in the US, and not guaranteed by a free return shipping policy if it doesn't meet your needs. Poor quality cable or improper coax will cost you significant signal strength. At some frequencies, badly made or wimpy 1/8 or 1/4 inch cable can cost you up to a Db a foot!

Is the cable you are looking at Described as "Compare to" "Equivalent to""Replacement for" "Same as" or even "Like" LMR-400 cable ? This is common with poor quality cable made in Mainland China or some other lesser known locations. 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.

We have many listings for cable sets with different connector configurations. We will also professionally replace connections as needed with high quality SMA, BNC, RP-SMA, N, RP-TNC or TNC ends in male or female CONNECTOR PHOTOS HERE and scroll down to see detailed pictures of the different cable connectors and select those required to customize cable for your needs.

Cable that fails to meet name brand manufacturers standards is not destroyed but is sold as generic, off brand or "house brand" cable all over eBay.

Connector Specification:

After trial and error we determined the proper connector for our production. RF Industries produces a high quality Silver connector that solders easily using silver solder and still manages to be affordable. Quality control has proven to be excellent and they deliver solid signals with minimal loss. Full details are here

We can buy MUCH cheaper connectors here on eBay but we choose not to.

We have a Photo page to explain what you need!

Too much attenuation or signal loss? send it back. VSWR too high? Send it back. 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 connectors 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.

You need to be able to print out the return label we will send you or let us fax one if you don't own a printer.

Try to be as fair to us as we are to you. As you can see this cable lists for many times what we are selling it for.

LMR-400 Coaxial Cable Info

Genuine U.S. Made LMR-400 Coaxial cable should not be confused with the imitations sold calling themselves LMR400 in most eBay listings. There ARE other quality coax producers in the US other than Times Microwave. We sell a couple ourselves, but please - if you don't buy here do your homework. Certain Chinese plants make cable for a large number of resellers and as copper prices go up, the quality of the alloy used tends to go down as cheaper producers tend to substitute inferior alloy without telling or use cable with variable dielectric thickness and copper alloys less than 95% pure for poor conductivity.

==========================================================

Coax Cable Signal losses are frequency dependent! Don't bother buying a good antenna if you are running cheap cable. Losses can be reduced by increasing the diameter of the cable. A cable with twice the diameter will have half the signal effect resistance loss. Assuming cable quality is equal, the larger cable would halve the dB/meter loss. In designing a system, consider not only the loss in the cable, but also the loss in the connectors. Cheap connectors give you as much loss as cheap cable. On a final note, poorly made LMR600 "type" cable can have a greater signal loss than good LMR400...

This is Top Quality LMR400 50 Ohm Cable. All common Radio Frequency (RF) devices CB, Ham, WiFi, Packet Radio, etc. are to be used with 50 Ohm cables and connectors. 75 Ohm cables and connectors are designed for low frequency signals like Video or Cable TV and are unsuitable for most all RF installations.

In high quality cable the dimensions and spacing of the conductors are uniform. Any abrupt change in the spacing of the two conductors along the cable tends to reflect radio frequency power back toward the source, causing a condition called standing waves. This acts as a bottleneck, reducing the amount and quality of the transmitted power. To hold the shield at a uniform distance from the central conductor, the space between the two is filled with a plastic dielectric designed to maintain the proper spacing between conductor and shielding to assure maximum signal transmission and lowest loss.

LMR-400 cable is designed for all applications, can be direct buried, and the outer jacket resists ultraviolet light and oxidation. There is no environmental restriction on use for indoor installations.

International Customers

We will Gladly ship to most Countries pursuant to the following rules:

EBay Customs Notice for International Buyers:

(In compliance to EBay International Sales Instructions)

We have never had a package held up or taxed by Customs but there is always a possibility.

International Buyers – Please Note:

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

ALL international shipping is done via USPS Air Mail. You can check the rates for your location at USPS.Com and just add $2 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 $50 I will offer the option of tracked shipping but in most cases you will be better off buying locally.

LMR-400 Top same sz as RG8/213/214

LMR-240 Middle same size as RG8x

LMR-195 Bottom same size as RG58

(Although RG type cables may be the same diameter as LMR coax the difference in construction results in MUCH higher signal loss)
