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.
SMA Connector
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
UHF Connector
The UHF connector (also known as PL-259 male / SO-239 female) is a large, low-cost RF connector designed in the 1930s for HF and VHF frequencies. Despite its name, its practical usable range is below 300 MHz due to its non-constant impedance design. It remains extremely popular in amateur radio (HF through VHF), CB radio, and marine radio applications.
Common Applications
This SMA and UHF cable assembly is well suited for short antenna pigtails, module-to-antenna connections, and compact RF assemblies. The combination of reliable SMA and UHF 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.
