Bolton400 Jumper Cable - LMR®400 Equivalent Coaxial Cable 2ft - Heavy Duty Ultra Low Loss Coax Cable 50ohm - N Male to N Male - 2 feet Black - for Home and Commercial Signal Booster Installations

I have the Wilson Electronics "WeBoost" cell-signal amplifier for my farmhouse. I wanted to spread the signal to other areas within my house with a splitter and auxiliary interior antennas. BUT, their cables are expensive!So, I decided to try the Bolton400 Cable -LMR®400 Equivalent Coaxial Cable with male N-connectors. It feels just as sturdy (stiff) and heavy duty as the Wilson Electronics cables and seems to work just as well for my 50 ohm setup. Therefore, I bought a few more to complete my setup and am VERY PLEASED with the results.Now, these cables are thick and stiff and well shielded. If you have an application where rounding tight corners is necessary, this may be challenging to install. My application was laying them out in my attic and down to a couple of ceilings on other floors, so the stiff cable worked fine for my layout and the shielding protects the signal.I would highly recommend this product for the quality, functionality, and variety of lengths offered.

I bought the 100' roll with N-connectors on both ends. It's running from my office, up into the attic, and then out onto a rooftop antenna about 15' high. For now it's just going into a discone, and I had to add on an N-to-UHF adapter for that (plus of course adapters on the other end to go into an SDR dongle).HUGE upgrade over the RG8x I had before... I'm new to this and I thought the 8x would be fine. Flexible, easy to pull through walls and the 1.5" pipe that goes out the attic onto the roof. But later I realized how much attenuation happens with RG8x and it was no surprise that I wasn't pulling in much more with that setup than just the cheapo antennas that came with my dongle.So I bit the bullet, bought this and ran it the same route. Well, not quite the same. I had to drill a new 7/8" hole from the attic into the wall framing. But with some generous lube I was able to pull it through the roof penetration alongside the RG8x and some RG6. Tight fit for it all, but whew, finally got it pulled. The 90-degree bend in the attic, and a ridiculous 180-degree curve on the roof, were pretty hard to do with the connector attached and I'd just about given up, but I finally got it fished through.The improvement from the discone (which has a flat/zero gain) was immediate. Frequencies that were spotty before were coming in clearly.I'm probably going to keep that setup with the discone for now, although I may wire in a low-noise amplifier in the attic, about 20' from the antenna, or maybe even mast mount.I'll probably relegate the unused RG8x run for a dedicated antenna in the 2M band - something with enough gain to offset the attenuation of 100' of that stuff at 144MHz without necessarily needing an amp. Once I get licensed and start transmitting I'll have to figure something else out, but I'll figure that out later.All in all, I do like this, and since I haven't used any other LMR400, I'm not sure if this is more/less stiff than the official Times Microwave stuff, but for this price, I don't really care.I just need to figure out how to cut/strip/crimp on some connectors of my own so I can add the LNA. I'm just assuming this has the same characteristics at LMR400 in that regard, so we'll see how it goes.

I purchased this cable to rewire the antenna on my sailboat mast. The mast is 33 feet long. Add that to the cabin penetration harness and I needed almost the entire length. I put ends on it to match what I needed (not what ships on the cable) and I was all set. Tested it with the radio at the end of the wire, and with the mast laying below the treeline on sawhorses got solid marine weather forecast and quite a few boaters who were likely coastal on the radio. I was at Gibson Drydocks in San Mateo Florida, many miles from the coast as the crow flies. Normally I would not have thought this odd, but the mast was laying sideways about 3 feet off the ground inside a TON of thick tree and vegetative growth wall. That means reception through this cable is definitely going to be great when the antenna is 43 feet in the air and on the coastal ocean area, maybe holding signal from one source or another all the way into the Carib. but getting me out nice and strong all the way there too. Of course, there are laws of physics in play, but I have no doubt that if a signal can be obtained or sent under those laws, this is going to be far superior to the RG-8 that shipped with my sailboat when she was new. The power rating of my output from the radio will be far higher than the RG-8 allowed as well.The cable is far stiffer than the old stuff, and I was careful to install it with minimal bends. It did wrap once around the crosspin in the top of the mast (to hold it in place without strain on the antenna mount or chafe on the hole where it leaves the mast wall) but I added a couple layers of thick heat-shrink tubing to the chafe points just in case something tried to rub a hole (the prior wire which appeared to have taken a lightning bolt had several places where the insulation had worn all but through due to chafe). I do not think I will be likely to replace this cable during my lifetime or at least during the time I have this boat.Installing the ends was probably the most challenging part of the operation, and that was still not that bad. You may be able to get conversion connectors to do it without changing the originals out, but I was concerned that I did not want to get signal loss from connections. The incredible retention in signal was part of the reason I went with this cable to begin with, as I had 2 full spools of the other wire on hand and already paid for when I purchased this wire to use instead.

stiff stuff but it does the job and very well I must say

Using two of the two footers with n connectors as jumpers on 1296 mhz. Work well.

Works exactly as expected on my six meter antenna!

The best

The LMR 400 Cable is a great fit for GMRS frequencies With low loss and almost perfect SWR. The cables are very stiff and sturdy And can definitely handle the The elements highly recommend.

I've been an amateur radio operator for 45 years and I know that if you are operating on UHF you need LMR400 coax. I operate a UHF digital repeater for DMR radio and I wanted to make sure the best coax feedline to run to the top of my 50 ft tower. After looking at all the radio sources I could find I came across the listing on Amazon.ca. This is the best price I could find for LMR400.
