You can scrape a tiny piece of the outer jacket off at the connector & take a peek. If the jumper is going to be outside, that area will need to be weatherproofed anyway. > Connectors are evidently not Amphenol, unless they didn't mark them as >such. The cable says RG214/U.

Nonlinearity is. You can't measure that with a DMM. If that RG-214 jumper has copper shield, you may start experiencing desense within a couple of years after installation. Bob NO6B
