LMR-240-LSZH 

LMR-240-LSZH is a non-halogen (non-toxic), low smoke cable with excellent reliability

LMR-240-LSZH Coaxial cable is a very product within the Times Microwave LMR coaxial cable range. The LMR range is recognised globally as the industry standard ultra low loss, flexible, low cost, lightweight, DC – 6GHz coaxial cable solution for many RF applications. This is also backed up by the best warranty and technical support in the business.

Why choose LMR-240-LSZH?

LMR-240-LSZH is a non-halogen (non-toxic), low smoke, fire retardant cable with excellent reliability, unsurpassed flexibility and ultra low attenuation. The LMR-240-LSZH cable has loss figures comparable to the extremely rigid corrugated coaxial cables however manages to achieve similar flexibility to that of high loss RG Cables. LMR-240 is around 40% lower attenuation than competing RG Air-Dielectric type Cables.

How is the LMR-240-LSZH low loss figures achieved?

This is achieved due to the cable construction specifications. The centre conductor uses a high conductivity, Bare copper clad covered aluminium centre conductor material. The dielectric is nitrogen injected, foamed, closed cell, Polyethylene which helps achieve 83% Velocity of Propagation. The Dielectric has a Aluminium foil outer conductor, which is chemically bonded on to it. Due to the cable construction, The attenuation is significantly lower as compared to single shielded coaxial cables.

Outer Jacket

All LMR-LSZH coaxial cables comes with a UV resistant, FRPE Jacket. This helps to ensure the cable jacket can withstand harsh outside environments and UV rays from sunlight, as well as being suitable for indoor use due to the jacket being zero halogen (non-toxic), low smoke & fire retardant.
