Is the fiber armored or just single jacket? We have repaired a number of the ADSS cables that the school district ran that have been chewed by squirrels. So far we have not seen any damage to the armored cables that we replaced them with.
Commscope makes an ‘alternative jacket’ cable that apparently tastes bad. Can’t say I have tried it (either installing it or eating it): https://www.commscope.com/catalog/doc/pdf/7460/Alternate_Jacket_Fiber_Optic_Cable.pdf <https://www.commscope.com/catalog/doc/pdf/7460/Alternate_Jacket_Fiber_Optic_Cable.pdf> Mark > On Jun 4, 2019, at 2:27 PM, Clint Wiley <[email protected]> wrote: > > Had our first fiber cut yesterday.
