Amphenol has been around since
1932, when founder Arthur Schmitt offered sockets for vacuum tubes, just 12 years
before this ad appeared in Radio News magazine. 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.
