About This Assembly

RG142 Cable

RG-142 is a double-shielded 50-ohm PTFE coaxial cable rated for operation from cryogenic temperatures up to +200°C with a 0.195" outer diameter. Its dual-shield construction provides excellent EMI rejection while the PTFE dielectric ensures stable electrical performance across a wide frequency range. The preferred choice for military, aerospace, and high-power RF applications.

FME Connector

FME (For Mobile Equipment) is a miniature threaded RF connector designed for mobile and vehicle-mounted antenna applications, particularly at GSM, CDMA, and FM frequencies. Its small size and robust threaded coupling make it common on vehicle-mount antenna mounts, cellular signal boosters, and mobile broadband modems.

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 FME and TNC cable assembly is well suited for high-temperature and high-power military or aerospace RF assemblies. The combination of reliable FME 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.
