Um, Apple products have long been made in China. Fair-Rite has had one 
or more factories in China for more than a decade. "Made in China" does 
NOT define the product as junk. Last I heard, Amphenol is making 
connectors in Mexico. Having bought and installed several hundred in the 
last decade, the only faults I've found are a few whose screw threads 
were short.

And you trust someone working in a trade show booth to know this? 
Someone selling junk connectors who disparages a competitor?
