LMR Coaxial Cable Counterfeiting Rises
http://onlywire.com/r/17150863 In order to combat a sharp rise in the instances of off-shore manufacturers counterfeiting Underwriters Laboratories testing labels to make their goods look legitimate, UL has introduced a new Holographic Label to make it more difficult for cheaters to copy coaxial cable. Citing issues in “certain geographic regions” UL has required all legitimately tested products to bear the new label. USAcoax has known for a long time that some Chinese and other coax cable manufacturers were faking test results and certifications for cable standards where you often see LMR400 coax cable “equivalent to” Times Microwave, Commscope or other quality coax manufacturers.
