Low Loss RF240 cables from EAD are ideal for longer cable runs from LTE antennas to routers, modems and radios. These cables have excellent RF properties whilst having an overall diameter of 6.1mm and being flexible enough to route easily during installation. Typical cable runs for RF240 measure up to 15M to 20M in length.
As an alternative to LMR240, low loss RF240 cables represent an excellent price performance offer. EAD builds RF240 cable assemblies to order in-house. With automated measuring, cutting, stripping and crimp tools, we can tailor the cable configuration to suit your application.
The most common connectors we fit to RF240 cables include SMA-Male, SMA-Female, TNC-Male, N-Male, RP-SMA. Many other connectors are possible.
Some example part numbers for reference are:
RF240-NM-SM-10M – 10M RF240 with N-Male / SMA-Male
RF240-SF-SM-15M – 15M RF240 with SMA-Female / SMA-Male
RF240-SM-TNM-5M – 5M RF240 with SMA-Male / TNC-Male
Please contact us for your RF240 requirements.
For longer cables again, RF400 cable from EAD is an excellent solution.
