Hello Clay,
I think Aircell brand coaxial cable is manufactured in Germany. It looks like
Trilogy is one of their US distributors.

[TowerTalk] N connector, Re: UHF (PL259) soldered center
Anyone use this cable manufacturer? Made in Mississippi.... I'm
considering using them for my main tower runs.... maybe split a reel
with someone.
