[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 35323, member: 175144"] The difference in price is in descending order the manufacturing quality, metal content and, origin I have had some truly awful ones from a large distributor in N London, manufactured in India, about 20% were machined with the thread (tuner) with very little metal , and the plugs would come unscrewed with vibration. Some even had no thread as though the lathe operator had fallen asleep Others can suffer from breakage where the tightening of the thread makes the two parts separate. Normally the brass effect ones are of better quality and have a plastic seal between the two parts. At certain frequencies (usually 2GHz and above) some of the signal can be lost through any squashing of the insulating dielectric when the F plug is tightened onto the cable. [/QUOTE]
