Specs Summary
LMR240 ULTRA FLEX Times Cable
LMR-240-UltraFlex is the ultra-flexible variant of LMR-240 from Times Microwave, sharing the same electrical performance but with a stranded center conductor and softer jacket that makes it significantly easier to route. Preferred for mobile radio installs, vehicle-mounted antennas, and any application with tight bends or frequent cable movement.
UHF Connector
The UHF connector (also known as PL-259 male / SO-239 female) is a large, low-cost RF connector designed in the 1930s for HF and VHF frequencies. Despite its name, its practical usable range is below 300 MHz due to its non-constant impedance design. It remains extremely popular in amateur radio (HF through VHF), CB radio, and marine radio applications.
SMA Connector
SMA (SubMiniature version A) is the most widely used RF connector in the industry, offering a threaded interface that provides a secure, low-reflection connection from DC to 18 GHz. Its compact size, 50-ohm impedance, and broad frequency range make it the default choice for WiFi equipment, software-defined radios, cellular antennas, GPS receivers, and RF test instruments.
Common Applications
This SMA and UHF cable assembly is well suited for vehicle-mounted radio installations, tight-routing applications, and mobile platforms. The combination of reliable SMA and UHF connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.
