one thing that i like about monoprice are the 8" zip ties. they are small enough to fit in the screw holes in a rack. [Link: monoprice.com]

You guys are so lucky sometimes, in Canada pricing sucks I'm trying to fix this problem for my largest customer in Canada. We may go public if we can get the pricing right. I'll post if I can get it figured out. Right now, we can do fast, good quality, and low prices on consumables, cables, and connectors in the US. We just can't do all 3 all the time on all products - yet.

you have to pick and choose what to get from each source......for example parts express has the best prices for snap-n-seal compression fittings which is what i use....mono has the best price and quality on f to bnc adapters, a lot of other ones i've tried are very difficult to lock in....you just have to order some from each and see what is best for you....
by the way, parts express has very good pricing on most of their stuff, but you have to have an account to get that pricing, if you just went to the site and looked at the prices then you saw the retail pricing.....
Also, skywalker for just a few things..... I did not know part express offered dealer pricing. This would def change the game. Last time I ordered 500.00 in connectors and adapters I used sky and I was pleased.

I think we figure we are discussing things among dealers. Those monoprice zip ties are WAY cheap! Do they hold up? How 'bout if the sun shines on them for more than ten minutes?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Last time I ordered 500.00 in connectors and adapters I used sky and I was pleased. yes they offer dealer pricing...go ahead and sign on for an account for much better pricing....sky is good for me for a few items as is mono, then i use parts express for a lot more.....of course you have to be careful and some is trial and error... i dont have luck with the super cheap zip ties, they are thin and fragile and always break, one after the other after the other....I go with the medium quality/priced ones and those are comparable to ones you'd get at home depot, except 1/2 the price.... i prefer 8" ties and they stay well with this [Link: skywalker.com]
