I buy mine from RFBat on EBay.  After trying several Chinese suppliers RFBat 
come out on top for quality and speed of delivery.  Most of my installation is 
Andrew 7/16 DIN connectors outdoors (also at the demarcation panel then PL259 
at the operating bench).  These appear to be equivalent quality:

 There is a better price for a box of 10 - eBay item number:172740524247.  
They work well on RG213 and Ecoflex 10; haven't tried them on RG214 which is 
0.02" bigger OD - would probably fit with a bit of lubricant on the outer to 
get the clamp nut on the cable.  
YMMV.  No connection with the company etc.
