Components: LMR 400 coaxial cable, SMA connectors.
For most wire and cable distributors, response times and turnarounds are crucial to winning orders and maintaining good relationships with their customers. When a wire and cable distributor approached Cables Unlimited, seeking a custom LMR 400 coaxial cable assembly with SMA connectors, Cables Unlimited was able to deliver the LMR coaxial cable assembly with shorter lead times than the distributor could find anywhere else.
The LMR 400 coaxial cable the customer was searching for is frequently used in the wireless industry because it offers the lowest loss among flexible cables.
This low loss makes it ideal for use in a wide range of low-loss, general-purpose applications, including short antenna feeder runs, indoor or outdoor use, direct burial, tower use, GPS, wireless communications systems, and more.
The SMA connectors paired with the customer’s LMR 400 coax cable are semi-precision, subminiature RF connectors developed with a screw type mechanism. Known for their compact design and superior electrical performance, SMA RF connectors are suitable for high-speed wireless applications.
Cables Unlimited was one of several companies the distributor contacted for a quote on their custom LMR coaxial cable assemblies. A previous vendor for the distributor was unable to deliver a finished product for as long as four weeks. However, the distributor needed the product for its customer within a much tighter timeframe. Cables Unlimited designed and manufactured the custom coaxial cable assembly with the required SMA end connectors in half the turnaround time of the other vendor – just two weeks.
To produce the custom LMR cable assemblies within the distributor’s required timeframe, the Cables Unlimited team put in extra hours and worked night shifts to ensure that everything was not only completed quickly but also to the highest quality standards.
If other vendors are falling short of your expectations or if you need a specialized, custom cable assembly quickly, Cables Unlimited will work with you to build a custom cable assembly that can be delivered within your timeframe.
