When Cinta was first introduced about 3-4 years ago, it had issues,
mostly with dimensional variability, I think. Understand that Cinta is
just a clone of Times' LMR series, so if it wasn't an exact match for
the dimensions of LMR, the connectors wouldn't work properly, and that's
what I found at the time. Andrew changed something in the design and
re-introduced it a few years ago with the CNT prefix, as in CNT-240 and
CNT-400. In all of my testing, the CNT version of the cable is an exact
duplicate of the equivalent LMR product. Harbour cable also has an LMR
clone; I think it's HPF-xxx. It also seems to be good stuff.
Disclaimer: The company I work for was bought a few years ago by Andrew,
but our division is not associated with the cable group up in Chicago.
We are just users of lots of coax in our Geolocation installs, and it
has been part of my job to qualify coax and connectors for the division.
Times, Harbour and Andrew are all qualified vendors for LMR-type cables
here.
