LMR-600-DB

LMR-600-DB Coaxial cable is and extremely popular product within the Times Microwave LMR coaxial cable range. The LMR range is recognised globally as the industry standard ultra low loss, flexible, low cost, lightweight, DC – 6GHz coaxial cable solution for many RF applications. This is also backed up by the best warranty and technical support in the business.

LMR-600-DB is the most popular coaxial cable in the industry due to its excellent reliability, surpassed flexibility and ultra low attenuation. The LMR-600-DB cable has loss figures comparable to the extremely rigid corrugated coaxial cables however manages to achieve surpassed flexibility, making the cable much easier to install. Installing the connectors on the LMR-600-DB cable versus corrugated copper cables in much quicker and simpler.

McGill Microwave Systems introduces the LMR-600-DB Ultra Low Loss, water blocked coaxial cable series


The LMR-600-DB Series, Manufactured by Times Microwave Systems, has a very similar make up to the LMR-600 and uses the exact same LMR connector ranges, however there is one critical difference.

In a normal scenario, if the outer jacket of a coaxial cable were to be cut for any reason – or damaged by wildlife , this would leave the cable with a potential leak path, directly leading to system performance degradation problems caused by increases of attenuation due to internal corrosion over time – especially if the cable was installed vertically as the moisture would travel down the cable with gravity.

The significant advantage of the LMR-600-DB cable is that in the event of the cable outer jacket being damaged, the blocking agent flows to the area where the outer jacket has been damaged and effectively re-seals the cable – ensuring that the ingress threat is localised to the small area where moisture has entered the cable and prevents any further moisture ingress.

Water Blocking feature and how it works.

Between the tinned copper overall braid and the polyethylene jacket, there is a highly flexible water sealing compound. This acts as a fully sealed, protective secondary barrier should the jacket integrity be compromised anywhere along the cable.

The LMR-600-DB coaxial cable can therefore be used in any outdoor application, including underground and saturated environments.

LMR-600-DB Reliability

When purchasing the LMR-DB series, you immediately benefit from the best warranty in the business – Times Microwave Systems 12-year warranty for any of the LMR-DB™ cable sizes.

Frequency Operating Band

LMR-600 is designed to operate excellent from DC – 6GHz. For any frequency band at VHF and above LMR is the obvious choice.
