Times Microwave LMR-400 Coaxial Cable Jumper N male PL-259 Connectors

http://onlywire.com/r/17150384 These jumpers are constructed to connect equipment with a minimum of loss and maximum flexibility. Each coaxial cable type has a manufacturer specified bend radius that defines how sharply a cable can be bent 90 degrees without causing loss. The higher quality the coax the smaller this radius can be without attenuation. For Times LMR400 the certified bend radius is 1 inch. This is smaller than comparable size cable due to the quality of the foamed dielectric.

LMR Coaxial Cable Counterfeiting Rises

http://onlywire.com/r/17150863 In order to combat a sharp rise in the instances of off-shore manufacturers counterfeiting Underwriters Laboratories testing labels to make their goods look legitimate, UL has introduced a new Holographic Label to make it more difficult for cheaters to copy coaxial cable. Citing issues in “certain geographic regions” UL has required all legitimately tested products to bear the new label. USAcoax has known for a long time that some Chinese and other coax cable manufacturers were faking test results and certifications for cable standards where you often see LMR400 coax cable “equivalent to” Times Microwave, Commscope or other quality coax manufacturers.

3M Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C | Coax Seal

http://onlywire.com/r/17150165 3M makes the best material we have found for waterproofing and sealing coaxial connections. We strongly recommend staying away from some of the cheap “coax seal” products being imported as you will not get a seal that will last. Scotch® Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C is a highly conformable, linerless, ethylene rubber (EPR), high-voltage insulating tape, formulated to provide excellent thermal dissipation of splice heat. The tape is designed for use in splicing and terminating wires and cables. Rated up to 90˚C continuous operating temperatures and short-term 130˚C overload service.

Coax Cable Connectors Pictures

http://onlywire.com/r/16119462 Nothing is more confusing in the world of WiFi and Radio as the Gender of Coax Connectors. The current state of affairs with RP & Straight connectors is just the FCC trying to help... In order to regulate WiFi and try to create connectors specialized for it's use we have the FCC and the wonderful concept of RP (Reverse Polarity). Now we have Females with Male Pins and Males with Female innards. See the picture here of SMAs, but TNCs, BNCs, Ns and others can all be Straight or RP depending on their use.

Buying Coax For WIFI Use

http://usacoax.typepad.com/blog/ For most Ham and WiFi transmission, using Chinese RG-58 or other tiny small coaxial cables a bad idea and will reduce your transmitted signal. Used only for VERY short runs since it loses almost a DB per foot at microwave frequencies and is still very loss prone at CB freqs. Since thin cable has more loss for higher frequencies it is best to use only short lengths of LMR-240 Overall LMR400 is the best coaxial cable for Ham and WiFi use.
