About This Assembly
Specs Summary
LMR240 Times Cable
LMR-240 is a Times Microwave 50-ohm low-loss coaxial cable with a 0.240" outer diameter and excellent flexibility for its size. Designed for medium-length runs up to 75 feet, it is widely deployed in cellular infrastructure, public safety radio, GPS distribution, and anywhere a balance of low loss and easy installation is required.
RP-TNC Connector
RP-TNC (Reverse Polarity TNC) uses the TNC threaded shell with reversed pin conventions, similar to RP-SMA. It is used on some commercial WiFi access points and outdoor CPE antennas, particularly in older Cisco and Linksys equipment, and offers better vibration resistance than RP-SMA in demanding outdoor environments.
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.
Common Applications
This RP-TNC and SMA cable assembly is well suited for medium-length antenna runs, public safety radio, and cellular infrastructure jumpers. The combination of reliable RP-TNC and SMA 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.
