Q: What is a CAGE code and what is the Amphenol RF CAGE code?

It is used to identify companies that do business with the federal government and helps standardize supplier identification across contracts, logistics, and regulatory documentation.

Q: Did your antenna products change or get discontinued?

Q: Is the pricing on your website accurate?

We work hard to display pricing that’s as current and accurate as possible. The prices shown on our website are provided through a third-party data aggregator that compiles distributor pricing and availability. In some cases, this information may be cached and refreshed within the last 24 hours. Because distributors may update pricing and promotions at any time, the price displayed on our site can occasionally differ from the price shown on a distributor’s website at the time of purchase. In the rare event of a discrepancy, the distributor’s listed price at checkout should be considered the final and authoritative price. Our distributors work hard to keep pricing competitive and may adjust prices as market conditions change, so we recommend confirming pricing directly on the distributor’s site before placing an order.
