Coaxial cable Rangeful RP‑TNC male to RP‑TNC female 5 m LMR400 UF UltraFlex

Rangeful RP‑TNC male to RP‑TNC female 5 m LMR400 UF UltraFlex coaxial cable is a 5‑metre low‑loss RF cable built on LMR400 UF UltraFlex dielectric and conductor construction. It provides a flexible jacket and robust RP‑TNC connectors to link devices with RP‑TNC interfaces, delivering stable signal transfer with reduced attenuation across medium distances. The cable is intended for outdoor and indoor antenna installations, router connections, test setups and radio equipment where a reliable RP‑TNC to RP‑TNC connection is required.

Advantages

The LMR400 UF UltraFlex core offers lower insertion loss compared with generic RG‑type cables of similar size, while maintaining a flexible jacket that eases routing in constrained installations. RP‑TNC male to RP‑TNC female connectors ensure correct polarity for devices that use reverse polarity TNC interfaces. Connectors are crimped and mechanically reinforced to minimise signal reflection and maintain consistent impedance. The cable’s construction reduces RF leakage and preserves signal integrity over the 5 m length, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting wireless routers, access points and modems with RP‑TNC ports
• Linking external antennas to radio transceivers and base stations
• Laboratory and field test setups requiring repeatable RF connections
• Temporary and permanent antenna feedlines for outdoor installations

Key specifications

• Cable type: LMR400 UF UltraFlex low‑loss coaxial
• Connector pair: RP‑TNC male to RP‑TNC female
• Length: 5 metres
• Characteristic impedance: 50 ohm
• Jacket: flexible, weather‑resistant outer sheath suitable for indoor/outdoor use
• Shielding: high‑coverage braid and foil for reduced interference
• Frequency range: suitable for common RF bands used in Wi‑Fi, cellular and two‑way radio applications

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight kinks to preserve the UltraFlex jacket and internal dielectric. Hand‑tighten the RP‑TNC connectors to the mating ports and, if required, secure with an appropriate torque wrench per the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations. For outdoor runs, use weatherproofing tape or boots at connector junctions to prevent moisture ingress. Avoid stepping on or crushing the cable and maintain adequate separation from high‑power electrical lines to limit potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep run length as short as practicable and check continuity and VSWR after installation with appropriate test equipment. Replace cable if outer jacket shows cuts, severe abrasion, or if connectors become loose or corroded. When used outdoors, periodically inspect weather seals and re‑apply sealing materials as needed to maintain reliability.
