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.
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.
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 TNC and UHF cable assembly is well suited for cellular repeater installations, base station feedlines, and long outdoor antenna runs. The combination of reliable TNC 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 – 300 MHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a 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.
