Do you know this, or are you speculating? My information was that Connect-It
fabricated all their stuff in Florida including the galvanizing. That’s one
reason I liked buying from them. That and their workmanship (welding and
galvanizing) seemed better than Andrew/Commscope.
Sitepro1/Valmont does import parts from China, which they do not hide, it is
stamped right into them. I am sad to report however that the quality seems
quite good.
Remember that virtually all brand name tools are made in China, not just Harbor
Freight. They can make junk and they can make good stuff.

How much standoff do you need? I have used Andrew S200 like George says (2
ft standoff) or S300 (3 ft), actually they go up to 6 ft standoff. Or
Connect-It Wireless S2-S6. Can be used on vertical or sloping tower legs.
Sitepro1 also has several solutions, some of which are YUGE!

I had looked at those, I just didn't know if it had enough standoff for use
with an omni - from a shadowing perspective.

Anyone have suggestions for a standoff mount for use with a 5GHz omni?
It will be mounted to the side of a Pirod tower, so I'm going to need some sort
of standoff to minimize shadowing.
