Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between TLM-1S L Guard and TLM-2S Z Guard brackets?

A: TLM-1S and TLM-2S identical in heavy-duty construction (both 1.6mm steel, 75mm length, 6mm cable slot, 3 screws)—sole difference is bracket geometry. TLM-1S uses L-shaped design providing simple 90-degree angle mounting, TLM-2S uses Z-shaped design providing offset mounting positioning antenna away from fender surface. Choose TLM-1S for straightforward mounting where simple vertical positioning adequate. Choose TLM-2S when antenna offset from mounting surface beneficial or additional clearance required.

Q: How does TLM-1S compare to TLM-3 standard L Guard bracket?

A: TLM-1S heavy-duty version with 1.6mm steel (vs TLM-3's 1.5mm), 75mm length (vs 50mm), 6mm cable slot (TLM-3 has none), and 3 screws (vs 2). TLM-1S provides superior strength, integrated cable management, and enhanced stability for demanding applications. TLM-3 compact lightweight option for standard installations. Choose TLM-1S for commercial/professional installations, heavy antennas, or when cable management feature desired. Choose TLM-3 for recreational use, standard antennas, or compact bracket preference.

Q: Why does the cable slot simplify antenna installation?

A: 6mm cable slot enables antenna coax routing directly through bracket during installation—eliminates separate cable management step. Thread cable through slot before mounting antenna, cable automatically positioned and protected along bracket length. Benefits: reduces installation time, maintains organized professional appearance, shields cable from UV exposure and weather, prevents cable movement and chafing. Standard RG58 or RG8X cables (5-6mm diameter) fit comfortably through slot.

Q: What applications benefit from TLM-1S heavy-duty construction?

A: TLM-1S 1.6mm construction ideal for commercial fleet vehicles requiring maximum durability, heavy-duty 4WD vehicles in severe off-road conditions, long or heavy antenna configurations (8+ feet), professional installations where bracket failure unacceptable. Extended 75mm length with 3-screw mounting provides superior stability compared to compact brackets. Choose when maximum bracket strength and reliability required over weight or cost optimization.

Q: Can TLM-1S be used for trunk lip mounting like TLM-5?

A: Yes—TLM-1S L-shaped geometry suitable for trunk lip mounting where 90-degree edge provides ideal surface. However, 75mm length and 1.6mm heavy-duty construction may be excessive for typical passenger vehicle trunk applications. TLM-1S better suited for guard/fender mounting on 4WD vehicles and trucks. For trunk lip mounting on sedans/hatchbacks, consider TLM-5 or TLM-3 with more appropriate 50mm compact length and lighter construction.
