All their products are made of recycled metals.  That is why all the paint falls off their mounts after a year.....I could only imagine what happens to their connectors. <br> </div>Well Mr. Anon, I have quite a few cables from monoprice going on 3+ years and zero problems.  These are everything from mono phono audio cables to HDMI.<br><br>And you'd be hard pressed to find stuff that isn't made from recycled materials these days.  That would honestly be the least of my concern.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[fifty nine posted : I buy from www.monoprice.com. It's their own no-name brand but the connectors and tool are of high quality.  The tool can also use other connectors like F-Conn or Ideal.<br><br>Their price can't be beat either.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : Those are actually F-Conn Commercial grade connectors and they work pretty well. Used the 59 universal, 6, 6quad, 7, 11, 59HEC F and 59 HEC BNCs. I used them regularly for about 2-3 years before my company changed to PPCs again (the built in weather seal on those leaves something to be desired).<br><br>Build quality is good. I've seen some of the plastic compression rings rot in the sun after a few years of direct exposure. Most of the connectors I used had a colored metallic label wrap indicating connector size and they can come off, but the plastic compression rings are also color coded so you still know what connector size it is.<br><br>The 59/6 F connectors are deep, which takes some getting used to for proper cable insertion, but have a discardable built-in center guide. If the connectors rattle around the guides can pop out rendering the connector difficult to install.<br><br>The 11 F connectors don't use 7/16 standard size like most connectors, at least not on the ones I used.<br><br>The BNC connectors have a built-in center pin that doubles as a cable insertion guide to indicate when the cable is properly seated. The pin will pop out if the cable is inserted too far though.<br><br>The bodies are pretty long on most of the connectors, so you do need the tools sized for them. Short throw PPC tools that are pretty common just aren't big enough accept the connectors. Other tools may arc or not hold the connector properly during the compression cycle and cause it to compress crooked, breaking the connector. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : I am looking for a brand to standardize for compression connectors.  I am tired of changing tools and connectors all the time.  Has anyone ever heard of ICM-CablePro?  <br><br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.cablegiant.com/Default.aspx?p_id=4&Product_id=671" >www.cablegiant.com/Default.aspx?&middot;&middot;&middot;t_id=671</A><br><br>I would take any recommendations.  Hopefully I can find a brand so I can do BNC's, RCA's, and F with one tool!]]></description>
