Specs Summary
About This Assembly
LMR100 Times Cable
LMR-100A is a Times Microwave 50-ohm flexible coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter, delivering significantly lower signal loss than RG-174 or RG-178 at the same form factor. Its foil-plus-braid shield offers 40 dB shielding effectiveness. A popular upgrade for short antenna pigtails and module connections in WiFi, cellular, and GPS applications.
MCX Connector
MCX (Micro Coaxial) is a snap-on RF connector approximately 30% smaller than SMB, designed for compact equipment requiring frequent connections in a small footprint. Rated to 6 GHz, MCX is commonly used in GPS receivers, automotive telematics modules, handheld communication devices, and compact measurement instruments.
TNC Connector
TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) is the threaded version of BNC, offering improved performance up to 11 GHz and better vibration resistance through its screw coupling. It is commonly used in mobile radio antennas, avionics, and outdoor installations where BNC's bayonet lock would not provide sufficient mechanical security.
Common Applications
This MCX and TNC cable assembly is well suited for short antenna pigtails, module-to-antenna connections, and compact RF assemblies. The combination of reliable MCX and TNC connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LMR100 Times coaxial cable used for?
LMR-100A is a Times Microwave 50-ohm flexible coaxial cable with a 0.100" outer diameter, delivering significantly lower signal loss than RG-174 or RG-178 at the same form factor. Its foil-plus-braid shield offers 40 dB shielding effectiveness. A popular upgrade for short antenna pigtails and module connections in WiFi, cellular, and GPS applications.
What is the signal loss of LMR100 Times?
At 1800 MHz, LMR100 Times has approximately 23.8 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.238 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 6 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a MCX connector?
MCX (Micro Coaxial) is a snap-on RF connector approximately 30% smaller than SMB, designed for compact equipment requiring frequent connections in a small footprint. Rated to 6 GHz, MCX is commonly used in GPS receivers, automotive telematics modules, handheld communication devices, and compact measurement instruments.
