I know Huber and Suhner connectors are not cheap, but on something important, 
I'd rather trust them than the Chinese ones. Recently we had issues at work with 
SMA connectors. with water ingress on no-name connectors. The Huber and Suhner 
ones are rated IP68 and have a sealing gasket that I've not found any other SMA 
connector to have. (Other makes used to use them, but have cut back no doubt as 
it saves a few cents). It's Huber and Suhner's attention to detail that has 
proved to me they are the best SMA connector for us, and we should not use 
no-name ones.

I think I'd spend a few extra $'s and use Huber and Suhner SHVs in an 
application like this, rather than a no-name SHV.
