This is common with poor quality cable made in Mainland China or some other lesser known locations. 1/2 (.405) inch Cable is perfect for runs when you don't want to loose signal strength but it isn't cheap, so please choose a product that will last for 20+ years and give you the service you require.

The Fine Print
:
If you cut it up you keep it.
Cable should be in "like new" condition, teeth marks/burns/slices etc. are not acceptable. Please don't run it up a tower and scrape/fray it then change your mind. Run all tests while still coiled.
If we have installed custom connectors we will not refund the price of the new connector we installed for you.
If
you
have installed custom connectors we will not refund what you paid for them.
If you have any questions please ask.
LMR-400 Coaxial Cable Info
Genuine
U.S. Made
LMR-400
Coaxial cable should not be confused with the imitations sold
calling themselves LMR400 in most eBay listings. There ARE other quality coax producers out there other than Times Microwave. We sell a couple ourselves, but please - if you don't buy here do your homework.
Certain Chinese plants make cable for a large number of resellers and as copper prices go up, the quality of the alloy used tends to go down as
cheaper producers tend to substitute inferior alloy without telling or use cable with variable dielectric thickness and copper alloys less than 95% pure for poor conductivity.
Coaxial cable design choices affect physical size, frequency performance, attenuation, power handling capabilities, flexibility, strength and cost. Skinny cable has less metal to conduct your signal and causes more loss.

Signal losses are frequency dependent
!
Don't bother buying a good antenna if you are running cheap cable. Losses can be reduced by
increasing
the diameter of the cable.
A cable with twice the diameter will have half the signal effect resistance loss.
Assuming cable quality is equal, the larger cable would
halve
the dB/meter loss. In designing a system, consider not only the loss in the cable, but also the loss in the connectors. Cheap connectors give you as much loss as cheap cable. On a final note, poorly made LMR600 "type" cable can have a greater signal loss than good LMR400... (See the cable chart below. Run the largest, best quality cable you can afford.)
This is Top Quality LMR400 50 Ohm Cable
. All common Radio Frequency (RF) devices CB, Ham, WiFi, Packet Radio, etc. are to be used with 50 Ohm cables and connectors.
75 Ohm cables and connectors are designed for low frequency signals like Video or Cable TV and are unsuitable for
most
all RF installations. We have LMR-400 75 ohm for antenna matching if needed
.
LMR-400 cable is designed for outdoor or indoor applications, can be direct buried, and the outer jacket resists
ultraviolet light
and
oxidation
. There is no environmental restriction on use for indoor installations.
We produce hundreds of cable combinations.

International Customers
We will Gladly ship to most Countries pursuant to the following rules:
EBay Customs Notice for International Buyers
:
(In compliance to EBay International Sales Instructions)
We have never had a package held up or taxed by Customs but there is always a possibility.
International Buyers
– Please Note:
Import duties, taxes and charges are
not included
in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
ALL international shipping is done via USPS Air Mail. You can check the rates for your location at USPS.Com and just add to the direct cost to pay for our packaging and transport. I can ship other ways but the cost is
much
more expensive. Shipping to Canada is double for signature items with tracking numbers and delivery to Europe and Australia is more than triple the USPS Air Mail cost. In most cases it is not cost effective to buy my items and pay three times the price to ship them... For more expensive items over I will offer the option of tracked shipping but in most cases you will be better off buying locally
