Times Microwave Systems (TMS)
Times Microwave Systems specializing in the design and manufacture of high performance flexible and semi-rigid coaxial
cable, connectors, and cable assemblies for RF transmission from HF through Microwave frequencies.
TMS was the first to produce cables with reduced periodicity and impedance
matched interfaces, resulting in the first transmission lines with low VSWR over broadband frequency
ranges up to 40 GHz. The development of connector design and manufacturing expertise allowed TMS to
take full performance responsibility for the entire cable assembly, which was unprecedented at the time.
TMS is the leader in the design, qualification,
manufacture, and on-time delivery of high performance cable and
cable assembly products to the commercial wireless and military
marketplace. In 2003, TMS was selected by Lockheed Martin
Aeronautics to supply the Broadband Airborne Cable Assemblies on the
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). TMS was chosen to supply this
solution since its high performance cable assemblies are able to
handle high-speed data in extreme avionics environments including
wide variations in temperature and pressure. |

Times Microwave Systems LMR Cables
Times LMR cables are high performance broadband,
flexible, low loss 50 Ohm coaxial communication cables
designed for use in wireless applications such as:
• 2-way land mobile
• IEEE, 802. 11a & 802.11b
• Cellular
• Wireless local loop
• PCS
• LMDS
• Wireless Internet (WISP)
• MMDS
• Broadband wireless data
• CLEC
• Telemetry
• Paging
Where can LMR cables be used?
Times LMR cables can be used virtually anywhere high
performance coaxial cables are used, including:
• Internal component and equipment wiring
• Inter/intra cabinet jumpers
• Base station and antenna jumpers
• Tower and pole feeder runs
• In-building runs, including riser runs and
air-handling plenums
• Rooftop installations

Advantages of LMR Cables |
| Times LMR cables have RF performance comparable
to traditional corrugated copper cables, but unlike corrugated cables they are highly flexible, non-kinking,
and offer unsurpassed ease and speed of connector installation. Compared to RG type braided cables, LMR
cables offer far lower loss and better RF shielding. These features make LMR cables the best choice for any wireless
application. |

sizes of LMR cable
A full range of LMR cables are available from LMR-100
(0.100") all the way up to LMR-1700-DB (1 1/4"). Because
LMR cables are so flexible, it's possible to eliminate
jumpers entirely in many feeder cable applications. The
elimination of jumper cables provides reduced cost, better
reliability and lower cost- or may even allow the use of a
smaller size feeder cable, while achieving the same loss
as for a larger corrugated feeder.
