JEFA Tech: Low Loss 400 Coax - By The Foot
Advertised to be 59c a foot, which is cheaper than the (around) $1/ft real LMR-400 is. Also claims to be USA made.
Now, would it be more beneficial to have the company install the connectors?
I will need about 30 foot of cable for my run, at 59c a foot that is $17.70.
To have it made with connectors, it would be $39.70.
The connectors are about $3.00 each, so the labor would only be $16. The crimp tool itself is around $30, and a stripper about the same.
Would be worth it to buy the tools if I was doing this all the time, but I hope the cable is "one and done".
Before anyone insults the cable, I've read really good reviews about it on other ham sites.
