Cable LMR Cable - Times Microwave

LMR^® cables are high performance coaxial communications cables designed and manufactured by Time Microwave Systems for use in nearly all wireless system applications. The cables are more flexible than corrugated cables and exhibit much lower loss than traditional RG cables.

Additional LMR^® products include high performance connectors in popular interfaces, prep tools, installation tools.

The standard Times Microwave LMR^® is a UV resistant polyethylene jacketed cable designed for 20-year service in outdoor use. Depending upon size, LMR^®cable has a solid copper or copper clad solid aluminium centre conductor. Their bending and handling characteristics are significantly better than air-dielectric and corrugated hard-line cables. LMR^®-DB cable has a waterproofing compound to prevent moisture intrusion after a minor abrasion. Times Microwave EZ series and TC series connectors are suitable for use on standard LMR^®and LMR^®-DB cables.

Times Microwave LMR^®- UltraFlex (UF) cables have a stranded bare copper center and a rubber jacket (black thermoplastic elastomer) designed for repeated bending. Times Microwave TC series crimp connectors are designed for use on LMR^®UltraFlex cables.

LMR's RF shielding is typically 50 dB greater than standard coax. The copper shield and multi-ply bonded foil outer conductor is rated conservatively at greater than 90 dB. That's better than 180 dB isolation between two adjacent cables.

A wide variety of connectors are available for LMR^®cables, including all common interface types, reverse polarity, and a choice of solder or non-solder centre pins. Most LMR^®connectors employ crimped outer attachment using standard hex-crimp methods.

LMR®-BC — Bundled Cable for Multiple Applications

LMR® Bundled Cable is a spiral configuration of multiple LMR®-400 or smaller LMR® cables under a common polyethylene outer jacket. This innovative design acts as the perfect feeder cable for applications requiring multiple runs, such as on towers or building top sites. A unique, patented grounding fixture grounds the outer shields of each cable and a rugged end cap seals the bundle to prevent moisture ingress at the break-out point. LMR® Bundled Cable can be supplied as complete assembly with break outs and connectors on both ends, and as a single ended assembly (base can be trimmed and terminated after installation on tower), or as a raw cable and accessories along with easy to use tools. Pictorial instructions and installation videos are available to assist in the installation of the accessories.
