RE: Why You Should Choose SV Microwave to Buy RF Cable Assemblies Over Amazon?

It is because Amazon stuffs are almost made in China and made with low quality parts or fake parts. They are just for amateur, leisure, fun and not for any serious purpose.

I also buy cheap stuffs on Amason to test my ideas and then throw them away. [emoticon:c28b2e4cc20f4ba28d1befdba6bed29c]

Hi,

I have some feedback regarding the cable builder (bearing in mind I'm not the target audience, since these cables are priced for military and R&D labs etc):

* Didn't like that the cable thicknesses were in inches only, so I had to get the calculator. 90% of the world prefers metric, could both be added? 0.085" and 0.087" doesn't mean much to me.

* In the screenshot below, it's confusing where it states 'RP'. I understand that's reference plane, but it is very easy to mistake that with 'SMA-RP' and I needed to go back to double-check I had not accidentally clicked on that weird SMA variety. Maybe better to simply replace the text 'RP' with 'Ref Plane'.

* Couldn't see any options for semi-rigid and rigid.

* There should be an option to label the cables at both ends with specific text.

* Surprised the heatshrink doesn't have any options. Isn't adhesive heatshrink preferred? It's stiffer, somewhat watertight, and maybe better strain relief.
