LMR Cable
Times LMR cables are high performance broadband, flexible, low loss 50 Ohm coaxial communication cables designed for use in wireless applications such as:

• 2-way land mobile
• IEEE, 802. 11a & 802.11b
• Cellular
• Wireless local loop
• PCS
• LMDS
• Wireless Internet (WISP)
• MMDS
• Broadband wireless data
• CLEC
• Telemetry
• Paging

LMR is a complete system of cables, connectors, installation tools and accessories- everything you need to make your job simple and successful.

Applications for LMR Cables
Times LMR cables can be used virtually anywhere high performance coaxial cables are used, including:

• Internal component and equipment wiring
• Inter/intra cabinet jumpers
• Base station and antenna jumpers
• Tower and pole feeder runs
• In-building runs, including riser runs and
• air-handling plenums
• Rooftop installations

LMR Cable Sizes
A full range of LMR cables are available from LMR-100 (0.100") all the way up to LMR-1700-DB (1 1/4"). Because LMR cables are so flexible, it's possible to eliminate jumpers entirely in many feeder cable applications. The elimination of jumper cables provides reduced cost, better reliability and lower cost- or may even allow the use of a smaller size feeder cable, while achieving the same loss as for a larger corrugated feeder.

LMR Cable Advantages
Times LMR cables have RF performance comparable to traditional corrugated copper cables, but unlike corrugated cables they are highly flexible, non-kinking, and offer unsurpassed ease and speed of connector installation. Compared to RG type braided cables, LMR cables offer far lower loss and better RF shielding. These features make LMR cables the best choice for any wireless application.

What makes LMR® cable
different than corrugated cables?
Design features of Times LMR cable include:
1) Polyethylene Foam Dielectric

• Closed cell
• Dry nitrogen gas injected- no moisture to degrade
  performance
• High velocity
• Low loss

2) High Performance Flexible Shielding System

• Multi-laminar aluminum composite tape bonded to
  the dielectric
• Provides >90dB isolation shielding
  (180dB cross talk)
• Bonded construction ensures 100% effective
  shielding
• Acts as a second moisture barrier
• Outer Braid of tinned copper:
• Provides positive means for grounding and
  connector attachment

3) Polyethylene Outer Jacket

• Heavy duty UV, sunlight and weather resistant,
  20 to 40 year life

LMR® cables vs. RG type braided cable and 9913
LMR cables have lower loss and far better shielding than comparably sized braided cables. Polyethylene jacket, closed cell foam poly dielectric and bonded tape conductor all contribute to the superior weather resistance of LMR cables compared to braided cables and 9913.

LMR Cable Options
