US Made
LMR400 Cable
!
Without the proper transmission line you can lose more signal than you gain from the antenna.
Most of the listings for
LMR-400
cable here on eBay are
not
.
When you read carefully you will find that the cable is not Times Microwave, Not made in the US, and not guaranteed by a free return shipping policy if it doesn't meet your needs.
Poor quality cable or improper coax will cost you significant signal strength.  At some frequencies, badly made or wimpy 1/8 or 1/4 inch cable can cost you up to a Db a foot!
eBay is allowing sellers to List cable in the titles and description as LMR-400 when it is NOT.
Cheap thin badly made cable can result in even the best antenna being worse than useless
.
Don't buy without asking if a product is
Genuine
Times Microwave
not a cheap Chinese copy
.
Copper prices are rising and some off shore producers are being caught using substandard alloys and less metal in the cables.  We have ordered cable from others and weighed equal lengths of their and our Times Micro.
50 feet of off brand weighs a half pound less.
Maybe because Tin and Aluminum weigh less than Copper...
Is the cable you are looking at Described as
"Compare to" "Equivalent to""Replacement for"  "Same as" or even "Like"
LMR-400 ?  This is common with poor quality cable made in Mainland China or some other lesser known locations.  1/2 (.405) inch Cable is perfect for runs when you don't want to loose signal strength but it isn't cheap, so please choose a product that will last for 20+ years and give you the service you require.
Coaxial cable design choices affect physical size, frequency performance, attenuation, power handling capabilities, flexibility, strength and cost.  Skinny cable has less metal to conduct your signal and causes more loss.

The Fine Print
:
If you cut it up you keep it.
Cable should be in "like new" condition, teeth marks/burns/slices etc. are not acceptable.  Please don't run it up a tower and scrape/fray it then change your mind.  Run all tests while still coiled.
If we have installed custom connectors we will not refund the price of the new connector we installed for you.
If
you
have installed custom connectors we will not refund what you paid for them.

LMR-400 Coaxial Cable Info
Genuine
U.S. Made
LMR-400
Coaxial cable should not be confused with the imitations sold
calling themselves LMR400 in most eBay listings.  There ARE other quality coax producers in the US other than Times Microwave.  We sell a couple ourselves, but please - if you don't buy here do your homework.
Certain Chinese plants make cable for a large number of resellers and as copper prices go up, the quality of the alloy used tends to go down as
cheaper producers tend to substitute inferior alloy without telling or use cable with variable dielectric thickness and copper alloys less than 95% pure for poor conductivity.
==========================================================
Coax Cable Signal losses are frequency dependent
!
Don't bother buying a good antenna if you are running cheap cable. Losses can be reduced by
increasing
the diameter of the cable.
A cable with twice the diameter will have half the signal effect resistance loss.
Assuming cable quality is equal, the larger cable would
halve
the dB/meter loss. In designing a system, consider not only the loss in the cable, but also the loss in the connectors. Cheap connectors give you as much loss as cheap cable. On a final note, poorly made LMR600 "type" cable can have a greater signal loss than good LMR400...
This is
Top Quality LMR400 50 Ohm Cable
.  All common Radio Frequency (RF) devices CB, Ham, WiFi, Packet Radio, etc. are to be used with 50 Ohm cables and connectors.
75 Ohm cables and connectors are designed for low frequency signals like Video or Cable TV and are unsuitable for
most
all RF installations
.
In high quality cable the dimensions and spacing of the conductors are uniform.
Any abrupt change in the spacing of the two conductors along the cable tends to reflect radio frequency power back toward the source, causing a condition called
standing waves
. This acts as a bottleneck, reducing the amount and quality of the transmitted power. To hold the shield at a uniform distance from the central conductor, the space between the two is filled with a plastic
dielectric
designed to maintain the proper spacing between conductor and shielding to assure maximum signal transmission and lowest loss.
LMR-400 cable is designed for all applications, can be direct buried, and the outer jacket resists
ultraviolet light
and
oxidation
. There is no environmental restriction on use for indoor installations.
International Customers
We will Gladly ship to most Countries pursuant  to the following rules:
EBay Customs Notice for International Buyers
:
(In compliance to EBay International Sales Instructions)
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 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 I will offer the option of tracked shipping but in most cases you will be better off buying locall
