Van Damme Redefines LMR Expectations

Van Damme's latest tour-proven solutions are raising expectations for what can be achieved with LMR cables.
Following an intensive period of R&D, combined with road-testing on demanding global tours, the VDC240 and VDC400 have been shown to offer the same performance as traditional LMR cables, but with increased flexibility and at a fraction of the cost.
"All tour professionals know that LMR cables are industry standard for RF transmission but come at an incredibly expensive price," said Herpreet Kaur Singh, Commercial Director at Van Damme. "We were certain that there were ways to deliver the performance that is demanded in the industry without the eye-watering prices, so we set about proving it."
The manufacturer's technical team spent over a year finding the right components to deliver an LMR cable that would meet this challenge and was worthy of the Van Damme name. Following this, the manufacturer worked with a variety of long-term trusted partners to make sure that the LMR cable's performance was back by a road ready robustness that would excel under the pressure of global touring. The result was not one, but two new cables – VDC240 and VDC400.
Designed as antenna feeder cables for radio microphones, wireless comms and satellite applications, VDC240 and VDC400 are flexible, low loss 50 Ohm coaxial cables that feature a stranded centre conductor, foamed polyethylene dielectric and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) outer jacket. The combination of a stranded conductor and TPE jacket results in a cable that is manageable for tactical and touring applications without compromising electrical performance.
"The Van Damme technical team have listened to the needs of touring professionals to create these flexible, high-performance LMR solutions," stated Herpreet. "We are already shipping kilometres of these cables to fulfil sales for our distribution partners all over the world, so we are confident that VDC240 and VDC400 have already been accepted as the go-to LMR cables for the industry."
VDC240 and VDC400 are in stock and available to order now.
