Meet the LMR System
Times Microwave LMR coaxial cables are utilized in communications systems supporting commercial telecommunications, defense, public safety, medical imaging and large-public-venue applications. LMR cables provide superior performance compared to RG cables of similar size. All LMR cable types are available in diameter sizes 195, 240, 400, 600, 900 and 1200; other specialty sizes available for specific applications.
LMR Cables
-
LMR Standard
LMR Standard coaxial cables deliver high-performance, broadband, low-loss 50-ohm connectivity with exceptional flexibility and long-lasting durability. Featuring a rugged, UV-resistant polyethylene jacket engineered for up to 20 years of reliable outdoor service, LMR Standard cables are built to withstand sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Their superior flexibility and handling make installation easier and more efficient than traditional air-dielectric and corrugated hard-line cables.

LMR UF
UltraFlex: Combines all the high-performance features of LMR Standard with a stranded center conductor and rugged rubber outer jacket designed to withstand repeated bending and flexing. Suitable for both indoor and outdoorapplications, LMR UltraFlex cables offer superior flexibility, making them an excellent solution for jumper assemblies in wireless systems and short antenna feeder runs.
-
LMR FR
Fire Retardant: Delivers the same trusted performance and features as LMR Standard,features anon-halogen, low-smoke, fire-retardant jacket for added safety and reliability in indoor RF applications. Designed to meet UL/NEC CMR, CSA FT4, FAA FAR25, and MSHA-P standards, this high-performance cable is an excellent choice for building runs, antenna feeder applications, inter/intra cabinet jumpers, and internal equipment wiring where dependable performance and enhanced fire protection are essential.
-
LMR DB
Direct Burial: Brings the trusted performance of LMR Standard to direct burial applications with UV-resistant jacket and watertight braid construction designed for superior moisture protection. Offering outstanding flexibility, simplified installation, and reliable long-term outdoor RF performance, Direct Burial cables provide a clear advantage over conventional smooth-wall and corrugated hard-line cables in handling, durability, and installation efficiency.
-
LMR PUR
Polyurethane: Combines the trusted performance of LMR Standard with a rugged, flexible polyurethane jacket engineered for superior UV and abrasion resistance across a broad temperature range. Designed for demanding environments, including ground-based military applications and field-deployable systems, Polyurethane cables provide enhanced durability, flexibility, and dependable RF performance in the field.
-
LMR LLPX
Low Loss Plenum: Same great features as LMR Standard but for use as an indoor highly fire-retardant cable intended specifically for runs within return air handling plenums. It has a UL/NEC & CSA rating of CMP and FT6. LMR LLPX is ideal for applications requiring consistent signal integrity over long distances, making it suitable for commercial and military use.
-
LMR 75 Ohm
All the proven performance of LMR Standard in a 75-ohm format, with a UV-resistant polyethylene jacket designed for up to 20 years of outdoor service. Enhanced flexibility and handling make installation easier than with conventional smooth-wall or corrugated hard-line cables.
LMR Connectors
LMR EZ- and TC-series connectors are cable-size-matched to work perfectly with Times LMR low-loss coaxial cables, assuring reliable connections and a tight, low-loss fit. EZ- and TC-series connectors include a wide variety of the most popular interface types for most RF applications. These connectors are ideal for applications where fast, easy assembly and strong connections are crucial. Connectors feature tri-metal or bi-metal outer body plating, center contacts plated in accordance with MIL-STD-39012, and designed-in elimination of the need to trim braid wires.
EZ-Series Connectors
The EZ-series Connectors are solderless connectors designed for quick, reliable terminations for LMR coaxial cables. EZ connectors utilize a spring finger center contact that provides a quick, reliable termination which isn’t subject to the many variables associated with soldering.
TC-Series Connectors
TC-series solder-pin connectors work especially well with stranded center conductors, giving a reliable mechanical and electrical connection on flexible cable. TC connectors are required when working with LMR Ultraflex cables, which utilize a stranded center conductor.
