Proxicast Low-Loss Coax Extension Cable LMR-195 SMA
Proxicast's LMR-195 SMA extension strikes a practical balance between flexibility, low loss, and price, offering noticeably lower attenuation than RG58 while remaining more affordable and easier to route than LMR-400 assemblies. This makes it a strong mid-market choice for installers who need better RF performance than RG58 but without the weight and higher cost of LMR-400, and Proxicast's length and connector options add good commercial value for varied deployments.
