What is the difference between LMR-400 and LMR 600?
LMR® 600 is a thicker cable than the LMR® 400. You typically use LMR® 400 when going runs from 5ft to 40ft. Because the cables will add loss to your signal, using the thicker LMR® 600 will reduce the loss when reaching those longer cable lengths.
What RG is LMR400?
LMR400 is a cable that’s about the thickness of RG-8, but is constructed differently.
What is LMR coax?
Description. LMR cables are high performance coaxial communications cables designed for use in virtually all wireless system applications. The cables are more flexible than corrugated cables and exhibit much lower loss than traditional RG cables.
Is LMR-400 the same as RG58?
LMR400 cable has very little loss, but is much thicker and less flexible than RG58 or LMR240 cable, making it harder to work with. It’s available in various lengths from 2′ to 100′ to be used with antennas/amplifiers that don’t include cabling.
What does LMR stand for in cable?
Low Loss
Low Loss (LMR)
How much does LMR-400 weigh?
The LOW-400 50 ohm cable features bonded aluminum foil and tinned copper braided outer conductor, and copper clad aluminum inner conductor. Our black polyethelyne jacket is a standard UV resistant jacket, designed for outdoor use….Product Dimensions.

Is LMR-400 flexible?
Flexibility and bendability are hallmarks of the LMR- 400-UF cable design. The flexible outer conductor enables the tightest bend radius available for any cable of similar size and performance. Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable and comparable loss to semirigid hard-line cables.
Is RG8 good for UHF?
A 50 foot run of RG-8X on UHF is a very high loss coax run,you ‘might’ be able to stretch by with that on VHF but it still wouldn’t be good. A 100 foot run of RG-8X on VHF and UHF would be useless.
How flexible is LMR-400?
Fairview Microwave LMR-400 coax cable is manufactured in a flexible design and has a 50 Ohm impedance. This low loss flexible 50 Ohm coax cable LMR-400 is constructed with a 0.405 inch diameter and PE jacket.
What is better than RG-58?
RG8. RG8 is a thicker 50 ohm cable, at 12 AWG, that can provide a stronger signal than RG58. It is mainly used for amateur radio. There is also a version called RG8X, which is thinner at 16 AWG but provides similar signal quality.
What is RG-58 used for?
RG-58/U is a type of coaxial cable often used for low-power signal and RF connections. The cable has a characteristic impedance of either 50 or 52 Ω. “RG” was originally a unit indicator for bulk RF cable in the U.S. military’s Joint Electronics Type Designation System.
How far can you run LMR-400?
LMR-400 can be used up to 125′, you will need the specific terminations for that cable. Proper cable terminations are vitally important to the performance of the network.
What is the diameter of an lmr-400 cable?
The 400 represents the cable diameter. The LMR-400 actually has a diameter of 0.405 or 10.29 mm though it is classified as a 400, similar to most coaxial cables in its class such as the RG-8 types, all of which measure .400. Low Loss: LMR-400 is distinguished from other antenna cables in the market for its low loss characteristics.
What is the RF shielding of lmr-400 coax?
LMR-400 coax has a shield count of 2, a RF shielding of 90 dB and the maximum frequency for this Pasternack cable is 6 GHz. LMR-400 coax cable has an attenuation at 1 GHz of 4.25 dB.
Which is lmr-400 outdoor rated outdoor coax cable?
Low Loss Flexible LMR-400 Outdoor Rated Coax Cable Double Shielded with Black PE Jacket. LMR-400 part number from Pasternack is a LMR-400 coax cable that is flexible. Pasternack LMR-400 flexible coax cable is 50 Ohm and has a PE (F) dielectric. Our LMR-400 coax is constructed with a 0.405 jacket made of PE.
Is the Pasternack lmr-400 coax cable available?
Pasternack LMR-400 coax cables are part of over 40,000 RF, microwave and millimeter wave components. LMR-400 cables and our other RF parts are available for same day shipping worldwide. Custom RF cable assemblies using LMR-400 or other coax can be built and shipped same day as well.
