A few quick questions... As to the quality of the coax, did you strip away the outer insulation and take a look at the shield?
What was the braid coverage on the shield, at least 98%? Was the shield tinned? Was there *any* of the dielectric visible through the shield? If there was a foil shield, was there just one single ground messenger wire? This is generally poor quality stuff. If there was a foil shield, in addition to the braided shield, was this bonded to the dielectric? I.e was it glued on, or was it the cheap folded type that you can peel off along a seam? If it wasn't bonded to the dielectric, this is poor quality shielding, and often allows ingress, especially upon any movement of the coax. How exactly were the connectors put on.
