Coax Cable Assemblies mobile mounts

3D4M

Standard mobile lip mount cable assembly

Can be used with a lip mount or used alone as permanent hole mount. An o-ring is included to seal moisture from migrating under the threaded nut holding the connector in place, but additional water-proofing using silicone is recommended around the connector threads.  13 feet of low loss coax, approx .25″ outside diameter

Gold-plated UHF (PL-259/SO-239) type connectors

 

The PL-259 connector has a reverse threaded barrel. Turn the outer barrel clock-wise and it will thread off the connector body. The coax can then be routed through small holes or pushed through tight spaces without completely removing the connector. After routing the coax into place, screw the barrel back onto the PL-259 connector.

 

To shorten the over-all length of the coax:

Remove the barrel as above and de-solder the center pin of the PL-259

The connector body then screws apart and the CABLE can be cut to the desired length.

Re-assemble the connector.

3D4N

Standard Cable Assembly with N-Connectors.

Can be used with a lip mount or used alone as permanent hole mount. An o-ring is included to seal moisture from migrating under the threaded nut holding the connector in place, but additional water-proofing using silicone is recommended around the connector threads.

13 feet low loss coax, approx .25″ diameter

Recommended for use to 1300MHz.

 

Gold-plated N-type connectors

 

The N-male connector has a reverse threaded barrel. Turn the outer barrel clock-wise and it will thread off the connector body. The coax can then be routed through small holes or pushed through tight spaces without completely removing the connector. After routing the coax into place, screw the barrel back onto the N connector.

 

To shorten the over-all length of the coax:

Remove the barrel as above and de-solder the center pin of the N connector

The connector body then screws apart and the cable can be cut to the desired length.

Re-assemble the connector.

3D5M

Standard mobile lip mount cable assembly

Can be used with a lip mount or used alone as permanent hole mount. An o-ring is included to seal moisture from migrating under the threaded nut holding the connector in place, but additional water-proofing using silicone is recommended around the connector threads.  16 ft 4 in of low loss coax, approx .25″ outside diameter

5D4N

Low loss mobile mount coax cable assembly

Approximate loss: 2dB at 2400MHz

13′ very low loss coax cable assy recommended for use up to 2500MHz

Coax cable outside diameter: approx 5/16″

Gold plated N-connectors

 

Can be used with a lip mount or used alone as permanent hole mount. An o-ring is included to seal moisture from migrating under the threaded nut holding the connector in place, but additional water-proofing using silicone is recommended around the connector threads.

 

The N-male connector has a reverse threaded barrel. Turn the outer barrel clock-wise and it will thread off the connector body. The coax can then be routed through small holes or pushed through tight spaces without completely removing the connector. After routing the coax into place, screw the barrel back onto the N connector.

 

To shorten the over-all length of the coax and avoid excessive cable loss-

Remove the barrel as above and de-solder the center pin of the N connector

The connector body then screws apart and the cable can be cut to the desired length.

Re-assemble the connector.

 

CK-3M

Deluxe mobile lip mount cable assembly

Coax length: 9′ 9″ total

The first 18″ of coax is mini RG-174A/U type allowing easy entry into the vehicle through the weather seal without causing wind noise, water leaks or impedance mismatch due to the coax being crimped or damaged.

The balance of the coax is low loss, approx .25 inch outside diameter.
