There is a Huge Difference between Genuine LMR-240 and cheap Chinese Imitations

• Flexible: With a 3/4-inch minimum bend radius, LMR-240 cable can be easily routed into and through tight spaces without kinking.The Patented LMR bonded metal-tape outer conductor provides superior flexibility and ease of bending compared to corrugated copper or smooth wall copper hard-line cables.

• Low Loss: LMR-240 has lower loss than other RG ‘8x’ type cables. This is achieved through the use of a high velocity dielectric and a bonded aluminum tape outer conductor.The proprietary gas-injected closed cell foam dielectric prevents water migration through the cable and provides excellent crush resistance.

• Weatherproof: The UV protected black polyethylene jacket makes the cable rugged and resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. The DB version of the cable includes a water blocking material within the braid to protect the cable from moisture ingress and corrosion in harsh environments or should the jacket become damaged. Various jacket materials are available to address other environmental and indoor requirements.

• RF Shielding: The bonded aluminum tape outer conductor is overlapped with tinned Braided Copper Shielding to provide 100% coverage, resulting in >90 dB RF shielding (>180 dB crosstalk) and excellent interference immunity (ingress and egress).

• Phase Stability: The intimately bonded structure and foam dielectric of LMR cables provide excellent phase stability over temperature and with bending.The high velocity dielectric results in superior phase stability as compared with solid and air-spaced dielectric cables.

• Connectors and Assemblies: Times Microwave provides jumper cable assemblies fabricated with LMR-240 cable and a variety of connector interface combinations. Custom assemblies with phase matching, insertion loss matching, and other special electrical or marking requirements can also be provided. A good selection of connectors is available for LMR-240 cable as shown in our store. Custom configurations are easily produced.

But Yours Costs More!

A word on Our LMR Coaxial Cable Pricing

Pricing by the foot - We price our cable assemblies by the foot including the cost of installed connectors. While the price of the coax varies by length, the cost of connectors is fixed. This means that the sales price of shorter cables varies very little. Our cables are expected to have a life span of up to 20 years in amateur radio and wireless use. While we are happy to make your cable any length you like it may be wise to purchase one a little longer than you need in case your setup changes.

Factory Direct - We purchase our coax factory direct from Times Microwave in 25,000 foot orders. This allows us to purchase coax at a quantity discount, pass savings on to our customers, and maintain a stock level to fulfill orders. We have a direct factory rep from Times Microwave and are a recognized Times dealer.

Cutting Corners - We can purchase the Chinese coax sold by the majority of sellers here on eBay for Over 50% Less than what we pay Times Microwave. With copper prices up over 300% in the last year there is more pressure than ever on producers and sellers profit margins. Many sellers have started selling this cheaper coax as "LMR240 or LMR400" at almost the same cost as we charge for the real thing. We have purchased some of this coax and found it weighs 15% less per foot than Genuine Times or Andrew cable. Although we have we do not know if this is due to metallic or plastic composition it reinforces our commitment to the genuine article.

Testing Results for US Made LMR Coax

Attenuation (Signal Loss) per 100/ft - (lower numbers are better)

Attention: There are many Chinese companies quoting the same specs as Times Microwave and Andrew / Commscope Coaxial cable.
There are some issues with this:

Cheaper grades of cable may Start with the same loss but quickly degrade over time with significant signal loss.
The Inner foil layer below the braided shield is bonded to the foam dielectric in a patented process that prevents signal leakage and moisture infiltration Only on US Made Times Microwave Coaxial Cable.
True Mil Spec testing criteria is not followed by many Chinese offshore producers and when retested by UL cable has repeatedly failed to pass muster.
When subjected to standardized quality testing - Jacket materials, Copper alloys, and Dielectric Foam have been found to be adulterated and containing contaminants.
While there are quality Coaxial Cable producers in China and other offshore locations they mainly produce cable for major brand name retailers who provide their own quality control, and do not sell off cable under "generic" or off brand names.

Coax Cable Loss is Frequency Dependent - The Higher your Frequency the More Important your Coax
Loss Is Measured in DB per 100 feet

International Shipping

We will Gladly ship to most Countries pursuant to the following rules:

EBay Customs Notice for International Buyers:

We have never had a package held up or taxed by Customs but there is always a possibility.

International Buyers – Please Note:

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

ALL international shipping is done via USPS Air Mail. You can check the rates for your location at USPS.Com and just add $2 to the direct cost to pay for our packaging and transport. I can ship other ways but the cost is much more expensive. Shipping to Canada is double for signature items with tracking numbers and delivery to Europe and Australia is more than triple the USPS Air Mail cost. In most cases it is not cost effective to buy my items and pay three times the price to ship them... For more expensive items over $50 I will offer the option of tracked shipping but in most cases you will be better off buying locally.
