Frankly I have been disappointed with the quality of the Cable X-Perts Coax
ssembly. The center core to connector is barely soldered and the ones I have
disassembled (failures) had only a press-fit for the shield to connector
(not a drop of solder).
I had 3 of these cable-connector assemblies fail to OPEN at my home station,
and two(2) cables used on some 80m and 40m dipoles at 2007 California QSO
Party N6D operation (M/M County Expedition) failed for the same reason in
the middle of a the cold night during operations. IN all instances the
connectors were filled with Stuf and the outsides were covered in two layers
of self-bonding rubber tape. There was NO ingress of water into the
connectors.
For this reason I have removed and replaced the connectors on all their
cables that are in my possession.
Maybe you've had better luck with Cable X-perts, but I won't buy another
Cable X-perts assembly for this reason.
YMMV

Subject: [DX-CHAT] Cable X-perts out of busines
For over three weeks, I have tried to order some cable from Cable X-Perts.
I have emailed them about a dozen times, faxed them 4 times, and have tried
to call them, with no answer.
I am seeking a custom made low-loss cable with connectors attached . I
have also looked at The Wireman webpage, but I don't think the specs info
is detailed enough for my needs.
Is there another specialized company like Cable X-Perts that will respond to
requests for ordering info ? Does anyone know if they went out of business
??
Thanks for any tips !!
