FME F CRIMP for RG58/RG142/LMR195/LMR200 Cable

Description

The FME (For Mobile Equipment) series is a subminiature RF interface specifically designed for mobile antenna applications and cellular telecommunications. This female (jack) variant is optimized for standard 5mm diameter coaxial cables, including the versatile RG58, high-performance RG142, and low-loss LMR195/LMR200. The FME interface is unique for its slim, cylindrical profile, which allows the connector to be pre-installed on cable assemblies and pulled through narrow holes, vehicle pillars, or cable glands that would obstruct larger connectors like SMA or TNC.

Maintaining a consistent 50-Ohm impedance, this connector is vital for cellular boosters, GPS systems, and WiFi infrastructure. It utilizes a high-reliability dual-crimp termination system for both the center pin and the outer ferrule, providing a gas-tight mechanical bond that resists the vibration and temperature fluctuations common in automotive and marine environments. Manufactured with a nickel or gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers superior electrical stability and long-term protection against corrosion in outdoor and mobile installations.

Key Technical Advantages

• Slimline Integration Profile: The compact diameter of the FME interface allows for easy cable routing through small access holes and conduits before final equipment connection.

• Versatile Cable Compatibility: Precision-calibrated for the 5mm (0.195″) cable class, ensuring a seamless mechanical and electrical transition for both standard and low-loss cable types.

• 50-Ohm Wireless Optimization: Engineered to maintain strict impedance matching, minimizing VSWR and signal loss across cellular and VHF/UHF frequency bands.

• Industrial Dual-Crimp Design: Provides maximum pull-off resistance and repeatable electrical performance, ensuring the cable remains securely attached under mechanical strain.

• Superior Environmental Durability: Features premium plating and high-grade dielectrics to withstand the rigors of mobile deployment and exposure to environmental stressors.
