LL240 Antenna Extension Cable
(CLF240, KRL240,®LMR240) - 50Ω Very Low Loss Double Shielded 6.1mm
Suitable for Mobile and Fixed-Wireless installations such as Vehicles, Caravanns, Offices Buildings and Homes.
Lower loss than the LL195 (®LMR195).
LL240 Coax has two SMA female connectors. Double shielded by one layer of Aluminium foil and one close-knit copper braid make for a low-loss coax with 6.1mm overall diameter. Its very-low signal attenuation figures make it well suited for use at Cell Phone frequencies.

There are many suppliers that manufacture coax cables to the ®LMR series specification. Some suppliers cut corners, producing sub-standard coax which does not conform. Shown below is a comparison of the high quality coax we supply with our kits and a sub-standard version. |
Our High Quality Coax
|
|
|
Fully Tinned Copper Outer Braid - Resist corrosion and electrolysis - Strong mechanical connection - Lower loss over long lengths
|
Greater than 90% Braid Coverage - Lower signal loss
|
Bonded Foil Second Shield - Consistent Impedance
|
Correct Inner & Outer Conductor Diameter - Correct impedance.
|
Foam Polyethylene/Air Dielectric
|
|
|
|
Cheap Poor Quality Coax
|
|
|
Bare Copper Outer Braid - No Corrosion resistance - Weak mechanical connection
|
Less than 75% Braid Coverage - Signal loss by radiation
|
Loose Foil Second Shield - Inconsistent Impedance
|
Undersized Inner & Outer Conductor Diameter - Loose fit to crimp connectors - Poor impedance match
|
Solid Polyethylene Dielectric - Higher signal loss
