I got a couple thousand feet of Huber+Suhner double shielded all silver plated cabLe. It is a little bit smaller than RG8X or LMR 240 but is bigger than RG58. I can use LMR240 connectors from RFIndustries for the most part. The center conductor is bigger than RG223, RG58 or RG142 but just a bit smaller than LMR240. Great stuff. Has a foam dielectric and a 91 percent velocity factor... I actually have a few N male Huber+Suhner connectors for the stuff, but they are a real pain to install. 73 Norm

It's still better than the real cheap imported crap, but as the price indicates, nowhere near the quality of the main mil-spec products. That said, I use quite a bit of the Connex stuff unless it's a critical application. You do get what you pay for.

Especially when it comes to adapters they will outlast the cheapies many times over. Even when they discolor because of years of service, they still work good. Having said that I shop economy because of ham use, but it depends on where I put the connectors that makes me choose the quality. If you are going to hire a climber to put up an antenna you want the best connector or adapter in the air and again I believe that would be Amphenol.
