About This Assembly

RG400 Cable

RG-400 is a double-shielded, silver-plated PTFE coaxial cable built to MIL-C-17 specifications with a 0.195" outer diameter. Its construction mirrors RG-142 but with two braid shields for even greater shielding effectiveness. The standard cable for military and avionics applications requiring certified materials and traceable performance.

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 cable assembly is well suited for military-spec RF interconnects and avionics signal routing. The combination of reliable 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RG400 coaxial cable used for?

RG-400 is a double-shielded, silver-plated PTFE coaxial cable built to MIL-C-17 specifications with a 0.195" outer diameter. Its construction mirrors RG-142 but with two braid shields for even greater shielding effectiveness. The standard cable for military and avionics applications requiring certified materials and traceable performance.

What is the signal loss of RG400?

At 1800 MHz, RG400 has approximately 17 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.17 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.
