Most likley it is Andrew especially since the connectors came with it. I 
have several 300-650' rolls myself and plan at least one 450' run. That 
stuff is HEAVY so make sure your tower can handle it. In my case I have to 
consider the ice loading also.

The Andrew website used to have full specs and connector installation info. 
So did Tessco. Connectors are very easy to install.
