Valuflex is the nickname for the slightly-lower-cost line of pre-made
Superflex jumpers from Andrew. Valuflex jumpers use a machine-installed
connector (most are crimped on), not the usual screw-together connectors
that you would buy normally. I've used them a few times, but don't
regularly buy them. I prefer to make my own jumpers; I've had problems with
factory-made jumpers from both Andrew and Cablewave in the past.
