LMR-500

The LMR 500 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. It also features a foam PE dielectric and a tinned copper braid. This cable exhibits the lowest loss of any flexible cable — comparable to semirigid hard-line cables. The LMR 500 is designed for outdoor exposure, is UV resistant, and has a life expectancy of over 20 years.

LMR 500 connectors are designed for LMR-500 cable in a large variety of common interface types, including N Male, N Female, TNC Male and UHF Male. A wide range of connector types is also available, such as straight plug, right angle, and straight jack connectors. LMR 500 coax connectors are offered with an option of solder or non-solder center pins. Many of these connectors utilize a crimp outer attachment in standard hex crimp sizes.
