Knockoffs- how can they just advertise so easily?

@carlsbad2 You can substantiate this claim?  As most of the product in question is supposed to be of US origin as marked on the packaging and product. 

Many of these "counterfeits" are made in the same factories as the originals.   a company orders 10,000 and the disreputable manufacturer makes 20,000 and the sells them undercutting the OEM, stealing the intellectual property and all the other investments that OEM has made.  You may find they all have the same serial number or fake serial numbers but they are identical.  This is a very difficult problem to fix since the Chinese government has no interest in fixing it.

If you are only interested in the two examples give in the OP, then I have no info.  I was speaking of the name brands that have their stuff made in China, most do.  Examples include Kimber Cable, Cardas cable stock, and WBT cable connectors.  There are many others.  

I probably won't respond again to a challenge that sounds like I'm a hostile witness in a lawsuit.

Well my post was removed so your response is now orphaned Jerry. But I do wonder why my post was deleted and the entire thread promoting fake cables on this site is still up and running. Just curious…

@carlsbad2

nope …. Way off sir!
Most of the majors that dominate the industry and suffer the most high-end losses via illegal counterfeit losses from crap build fakes are made in the USA.
Go to their websites,

(1) CARDAS are exclusively made in Oregon

(2) KIMBER follows in like form …they are all made in Utah

(3) NORDOST too are also all made in the USA
