High Quality, Moderate Price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I’m picky about quality. I needed some custom cables made to be able to quickly disconnect LMR400 in case of a storm. ABR did the research and located the female BNC connectors for the one end of the cables and PL259 on the other. These cables go from the Amp./Rigs through a window and can be disconnected on the outside of the window. I thought I would try ABR on this job and some ground straps and other miscellanies cables.

Bottom line, I will be looking to ABR Industries for my future cabling needs and would recommend them to others.

Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered 50 FT LMR 600 and within three days was at my door ready for weekend antenna work. Marc and team were spot on. My order was on-line. The quality of the cable is excellent- professional job. The price was reasonable. I am all for paying for quality. Thanks guys - will be back for future needs.

Update: Still great service! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I reviewed these folks a couple years ago, and I still say: What great service!

I needed a custom length of cable with connectors for an outdoor stub, and ABR shipped it the same day.

ABR’s prices are “premium” but fair, considering the quality and service. Every outdoor piece of coax I have is from ABR because of the fine UV-resistant jacket, the weatherproof heat-shrink tubing applied to each connector, along with a heat-shrink label showing the cable type and length. And you can get custom labels to help you avoid connecting the wrong cable on the tower and in the shack.

I’ve always felt that the antennas and transmission lines are the most important part of my setup; that’s why I’m glad to find this company.

RG 213 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just purchased a 250' run of rg 213 direct burial from abr. This is very high quality coax. I split it due to not needing the full run to my ofc dipole and wanting to use the left over section for my vertical. Compared to other mil spec rg 213 I have used the braid and center copper along with the insulator appear to be much more heavy duty than the others. Connectors are weather sealed very well. I have used a lot of coax in my time and this is the best you'll find.

Excellent quality Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Purchased a length of Andrew CINTA-600 cable w/type n connectors installed for my VHF/UHF base antenna. Arrived in a couple of days, well packaged. Absolutely top notch construction. I will be buying more cables in the future. Thanks Mark.

Great quality and service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought a 50 ft. coax assembly and some protective end caps from ABR last month at the Cowtown Hamfest in Fort Worth. I am very impressed with the quality of their products, as well as their prices. However, I am even more impressed with their customer service.
About a week afterwards, I received a personal e-mail from ABR thanking me for my purchase. What is admirable about this is it was a cash sale and I did not provide any personal contact information. I guess they must have noted the callsign on my cap and took the time to track down my e-mail address.
Of course I expected a “thank you” from them at their hamfest table, but I was completely surprised to see them go over and above to thank me a second time. You can bet the quality of their products and their customer service will make me a return customer.

Quality products, great service. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered a variety of RG8X and 213 patch cables as part of a shack refurb. They arrived quickly and are well made. I'll be ordering again without hesitation.

GREAT COAX, NICE COMPANY Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I had the pleasure to deal with this company two times and both times is been a great experience, Mark is very helpful and he bends he's back to supply what I need and shipping is super fast even if the item is custom make, their coax is the best I ever use and I will always deal with them, keep the good work Mark 73.

Shipped Wrong Coax, but Corrected Mistake Very Quickly Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently placed an order for three short RG-8X coax cables terminated with PL-259s on each end for rig interconnects. Much to my surprise, and chagrin, what I received was one 18 ft. long RG-8X cable with PL-259s! I sent an e-mail to both their main customer service e-mail address and also to the owner, and ABR corrected the error very quickly, and also sent an apology. The owner also said "Keep the coax we sent you by mistake." I could downgrade their rating from the "5" to a "4", but their very expedient and pleasant customer service pumps the rating back up to a "5". BTW... the coax is excellent as are the PL-259s. Thanks Marc!
