YES! Ferroxcube has a very broad product line and publishes 
lots of good data. They ARE a good alternative to Fair-Rite. 

Thanks for alerting us to this distribution network and their 
published data. I was unaware of their presence in the US and 
their new engineering catalog. 

To use Ferroxcube products in HF applications, you'll need to 
either get parts to measure as I did with Fair-Rite, or try 
to predict performance of their parts based on our data and 
comparing their technical data to that of Fair-Rite. The good 
news is that both companies publish a lot of data. On the 
other hand, I'm still looking through the 1097 page catalog, 
but so far, I haven't found direct equivalents to the most 
useful Fair-Rite products.
