SMA Extension Cables: 3-inch to 6-feet
LMR-100 coaxial cable - facts and figures
Used for transmission of radio frequency signals over antenna cables, the LMR-100 is a workhorse in connectivity over distance. Most common uses are:
- broadband internet networks
- audio visual projects
- TV
- computer networks
The LMR-100's features have much in common with other cables within it's class, here are the highlights:
- Copper clad-steel conductor - an efficient and effective vehicle for conveying radio frequency signals
- Dielectric PE foam - insulation layer keeping the signal charge from escaping the cable
- Double shielding - aluminum and copper braiding combination layers for eliminating EMI
- Outer Jacket - maintaining physical integrity in most environments
So, what is the LMR-100 actually made of:
Composition
1. Inner conductor
- LMR-100 conductor: 0.46 mm (0.02 in) in diameter
2. Dielectric foam diameter & material
- LMR-100 foam diameter: 1.52 mm (0.01 in), Polyethylene foam
3. Inner shield
- LMR-100 inner shield: aluminium tape
4. Outer shield
- LMR-100 outer shield: copper braiding
5. Outer cable sheath diameter, material & color
- LMR-100 cable sheath: 2.79 mm (0.1 in) in diameter, PVC, black
LMR-100 and it's behaviour
Temperature stability = able to withstand temperatures of 85-degrees C the LMR-100 is innately resistant to relative extreme environmental heat. A temperature low of -40-degrees C. Bending radius = flexibility will be your friend with the LMR-100. It will give you the benefit of the tightest bend radius in your chosen application environment: 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) Weight = a very conservatively proportioned product, the LMR-100 proposes great logistical benefits with a weight of only: 0.0092 lb/ft (0.014 kg/m) LMR-100 is made from halogen-free components.
Attenuation
An all-rounder with outstanding conservative features making it a low loss champion among RF signal cables:
At 900 MHz
- LMR-100 = 0.75 dB/m. (0.228 dB/ft.)
At 2400 MHz
- LMR-100 = 1.28 dB/m. (0.389 dB/ft.)
At 3500 MHz
- LMR-100 = 1.58 dB/m. (0.48 dB/ft.)
At 5800 MHz
- LMR-100: 2.10 dB/m. (0.641 dB/ft.)
LMR-100 and double shielding
The LMR-100 internal structure benefits from double shielding. An inner aluminium layer provides 100% coverage minimising attenuation. An outer copper braiding aides with greater thickness for the ultimate dampening effect on signal seepage.
