LMR®-1700
Flexible Low Loss Communications Coax

Ideal for…

• Long Antenna Feeder runs
• Building-Top Sites
• Any application (e.g. WLL, GPS, LMR, WLAN, WISP, WiMax,
SCADA, Mobile Antennas) requiring an easily routed,
low loss RF cable

• LMR®- DB is identical to standard LMR plus has the
advantage of being watertight. The addition of
waterproofing compound in and around the foil/braid
insures continuous reliable service should the jacket be
inadvertently damaged during installation or in the future.
• LMR®- FR is a non-halogen (non-toxic), low smoke,
fire retardant cable designed for in-building runs that can
be routed anywhere except air handling plenums.
LMR-FR is UL/NEC & CSA rated‘CMR’ and ‘FT4’
respectively, meets FAA FAR25 requirements and is
MSHA-P for mining applications.
• Flexibility and bendability are hallmarks of the LMR-
1700 cable design. The flexible outer conductor enables
the tightest bend radius available for any cable of similar
size and performance.
• Low Loss is another hallmark feature of LMR-1700.
Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable
and comparable loss to semirigid hard-line cables.
• RF Shielding is 50 dB greater than typical single
shielded coax (40 dB). The multi-ply bonded foil outer
conductor is rated conservatively at > 90 dB (i.e. >180
dB between two adjacent cables).
• Weatherability: LMR-1700 cables designed for
outdoor exposure incorporate the best materials for UV
resistance and have life expectancy in excess of 20 years.
• Connectors: A selection of connectors including
type-N, 7/16 DIN, and 7/8 EIA flanges are available
for LMR-1700. Other interfaces are available on
request. Transition to interfaces smaller than type-N
is best accomplished with a short jumper cable.
• Cable Assemblies: All LMR-1700 cable types are
available as pre-terminated cable assemblies. Refer to
the section on FlexTech for further details.
