XRDS -RF KMR400 RF Coaxial Cable 50 Ohm Low Loss Coax Cable with NO Connectors 100FT

As close to LMR400 as you're going to get, at less than half the price. I terminated the supplied 100' cable with crimped N types, and hooked it up to a calibrated 8714ES. Losses at some selected frequencies for the 100' supplied: 7.3MHz -0.35dB 14.3MHz -0.61dB 28.3MHz -0.95dB 51.3MHz -1.14dB 70.3MHz -1.26dB 145.3MHz -1.68dB 221.3MHz -2.01dB 435.3MHz -2.88dB 1296.2MHz -5.13dB 1420.2MHz -5.40dB 1575.1MHz -5.72dB 2400.1MHz -7.07dB

Works fine, just what I expected in terms of quality and functionality. Used this exclusively for a new tower installation with four antennas.

The KMR400 coax has the same specifications as the Times Microwave standard LMR400 cable but at about 1/3 the price. This cable is constructed similarly to the LMR400 and is similarly a very stiff cable. The cable is not like the Times Microwave UltraFlex version which is much more flexible and has a slightly larger power loss. The connectors solder easily to the KMR cable, but the outer shield wire seems frizzier the LMR. I measured the coax cable loss with a MFJ 259 analyzer and verified the loss was the same as specified which is the same as the LMR. I use this cable for all feedlines outside my ham radio shack. Inside, I use the LMR400 UltraFlex cable. For portable antennas, shorter feedlines and lower frequencies I use the MOOKEERF coax found on Amazon. The MOOKEERF cable is smaller, has more loss and is cheaper.

Excellent quality cable, no issues when installing connectors.

I have installed this to my HF radio antennas and am very happy with its construction, handling, and performance. The center conductor is copper-clad aluminum and so it is a bit lighter in mass than that with pure copper center conductors, and is still a substantial and low loss cable for use at HF frequencies. While the product photo shows a wooden spool, that is not included in the order. What one will get is a nicely wound length of coax for termination by the user. I used crimp-on fittings and am very pleased with this coax cable. No problems or issues at all - it is a drop-in replacement for LMR-400 and RG-8 coax. Recommended! Great value for its price.
