About This Assembly
Specs Summary
LMR400 Times Cable
LMR-400 is the industry-standard low-loss 50-ohm coaxial cable from Times Microwave with a 0.400" outer diameter, offering less than half the signal loss of RG-8 at 2.4 GHz. The go-to cable for base station feedlines, cellular repeater installations, antenna runs from 50 to 200 feet, and any fixed installation requiring reliable broadband performance.
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.
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 RP-TNC and TNC cable assembly is well suited for cellular repeater installations, base station feedlines, and long outdoor antenna runs. The combination of reliable RP-TNC 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.

What is LMR400 Times coaxial cable used for?
LMR-400 is the industry-standard low-loss 50-ohm coaxial cable from Times Microwave with a 0.400" outer diameter, offering less than half the signal loss of RG-8 at 2.4 GHz. The go-to cable for base station feedlines, cellular repeater installations, antenna runs from 50 to 200 feet, and any fixed installation requiring reliable broadband performance.
What is the signal loss of LMR400 Times?
At 1800 MHz, LMR400 Times has approximately 6.8 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.068 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 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.
