Amphenol has been
around since 1932, when founder Arthur Schmitt offered sockets for vacuum tubes. Now headquartered in
Wallingford, CT, the company began life in Chicago, Illinois. Amphenol was a major supplier of coaxial cable in the days
when most of the cable Americans used was produced in the country.
Alpha Wire,
Amphenol,
Carol Cable
(now part of General Cable), and
General Cable are the names that come to mind that
were around in the 1970s when I entered the radio-electronics realm. The radar system I worked on in the USAF,
and all of the defense electronics electronics systems I worked on as a technician and engineer, used those four
brands. Today, of course, there is a seemingly unlimited number of coaxial cable suppliers, many of which
produce sub-standard products that do not hold up under even typical operational environments.
Caveat emptor.
