LMR-240

The LMR 240 Cable is one of the many low-loss coaxial cables we carry at Allied Wire and Cable. This cable features a bare copper tube inner conductor and an aluminum tape outer conductor, which enables the tightest bend radius of any cable of similar size and performance. It also features a foam PE dielectric and a tinned copper braid. This cable also has a jacket, but materials vary per product. LMR-240-FR is approved for use in mining operations per MSHA-P standards.
