MPD Digital Times Microwave 400-n-sma-25 LMR-400 Antenna Line Coaxial Cable

Excellent Quality cable.

Excellent quality and made in USA:)

Retired EE. I got a pair of these for a MIMO antenna, and found that one was consistently loosing one bar of signal strength or more. I put in an old LMR 200 cable and all was well. One N male end was loose- inproper crimps on both the crimp sleeve and NO crimp on the pin, slipped right off. I found a similar no crimp pin on one SMA end also. I was able to easily pull it apart and reassemble, solder the pin and replace the crimp ring with a new one.I sure won't be buying cables premade from this alleged US assembler- they have serious training/QC problem.They don't seem to understand that SMA and N crimp connectors don't have a collet to tighten the male pin on the center wire like the clamp style do.

MPD Digital Times Microwave LMR-400 Coaxial Antenna Cable Line with N Male & Straight SMA Male Connectors, 15': I use it to connect a Comet vertical base antenna to my Alinco DJ-G29 HT on the 902-927MHz band during ARRL V/UHF contests. Quality connectors, no adapters needed. The cable is necessarily rigid. So, if twisted the wrong way, my HT can be yanked off the table. The setup DOES work. I've made a few almost 100 mile hilltop to hilltop contacts on 902 FM, 2-watts. The cable is recommended for this niche ham specialty.

About 1.5 years ago I got 3 MPD cables and one cheaper competitor cable. Welp, after a week of systematically troubleshooting my equipment, I deduced a recent radio signal decrease came from failure of the cheaper competitor cable (Proxicast). I recently moved and slightly bent that half-failed cable no more or less than I moved and slightly bent the MPD cables which continued to work great after the adjustment.All three MPD cables have lasted and performed well so far. My point is that MPD cables are worth paying more for. Just pay a bit more once to avoid buying again, and the headache of cable/mast runs from cheaper options you will have to replace next year!
