[SJRA-Members] [Packrats] Low Loss Short (1.5-3ft) Jumpers for 440 MHz and below.

Bob,

If your looking only at pre-assembled cables check with Joel @ therfc.com  though he does not list it on his web page he will make custom assemblies.
You can always roll you own, at least one rat ( kb1jey ) has a crimper for various connectors and cables, you can save significant $$ rolling your own and getting the exact length you need.

I need coax jumpers (thin), for my VHF/UHF amps.  LMR 240 and generic seems to be the cable I need.  Tired of using RG8 that is hard to bend.    New shack is cramped.  Any suggestions?  I found these so far…

 

 

 

http://www.cablexperts.com/cfdocs/cat.cfm?ItemGroup=6&itmsub=0&bskt=0&USA_ship=1&c=0    PART# 240C3                                About $16 for 3 feet.      PL-259 both ends.

2.8db @ 150MHz

5.2db @ 450MHz

3.6dB @ 150MHz/0.55kW

6.3dB @ 450MHz/0.31kW
 

Look at the difference in specs.  Given these two, it’s a no brainer to get the Cable Experts one.  If you find other sources, let me know and I’ll look.    Got any old used ones you no longer need?  I need a total of 6 jumpers in range of 1.5 ft to 3 ft.  2 with PL-259 on both end.  4 with PL-259 on one end and N on other end.

 

Bob
