LMR240 Cable 50 Ω Braided Cable for Radio Systems

Our LMR240 cable is a highly versatile, 50 Ω braided cable specifically engineered to deliver low-loss performance for advanced radio systems and cellular communications. Designed with a 1.42mm bare copper inner conductor and robust bonded dual aluminum foil with a 90% coverage tinned copper braid, it guarantees exceptional shielding and signal integrity across wide frequency bands (including 350-3800MHz and 555-6000MHz for 5G readiness).

This LMR240 cable is an essential component for any professional RF Feeder system and accessories, offering the perfect balance of routing flexibility and durability for demanding telecommunications installations. Its rugged black PE jacket ensures reliable operation in extreme environments, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. To achieve optimal low-PIM performance and seamless network integration, we highly recommend terminating your connections with our precision-engineered N female for LMR240 connectors. Trust Bri Electronics to supply the high-grade braided cable infrastructure your next project requires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why is the LMR240 cable recommended for modern radio systems?

The LMR240 cable is engineered with a foam PE dielectric and an 83% velocity of propagation, which dramatically reduces signal attenuation compared to standard cables. Its 90% tinned copper braid coverage provides superior RF shielding, making it highly reliable for cellular communications and sensitive radio systems.

2. Can this braided cable withstand outdoor installation for RF Feeder systems?

Yes. This braided cable is manufactured with a highly durable Black PE jacket. It features a broad operating temperature range of -40 to +80 °C and a storage capacity of up to +85 °C, ensuring longevity and stable performance when used in outdoor RF Feeder system and accessories.

3. What is the most reliable connector to use with this cable?

For secure, 50 Ω matched impedance and low-PIM connectivity in your network, we strongly advise terminating your lines with a high-quality N female for LMR240 connector. This ensures minimal signal reflection and maintains the strict ≥ 20.8 dB return loss required for professional installations.
