vailixi Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I'm looking for a wifi antenna cable but I'm not sure what type of cable I should purchase. Are SMA and LMR compatible? Are there adapters? What are the parts called that I'm looking for? It's the kind of cable you connect a wireless device to one end and an antenna on the other. I want to run an antenna up a tree in the back 40 and maybe some other stuff. Are wifi cable and TV cable essentially the same except for the connector sizes? The pictures all look the same on Google. Anyway what parts do I need? LMR-200? is that what I'm looking for?

barry99705 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) SMA is a connector type. LMR is a cable type. TV coax and microwave coax are not compatible. Have a look at www.fab-corp.com Edited July 24, 2015 by barry99705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 SMA is the connector. LMR is the cable quality if you will. What frequency communications it's rated for, what impedance, all that good stuff. Wikipedia For the most part any LMR will do but the longer the run of cable you need, the more it pays to go with a high number LMR cable because the loss will be acceptable.
