Conduit is your friend, but you do have to exit the conduit at some point.  It certainly reduces the number of places where an animal can get at it.

For radios with cable glands, you can replace the gland with the right fittings to bring conduit all the way to the device.  We did that once, but it's very difficult to work with.  Wouldn't try that again.  You'd need a way to slide the conduit back several inches separately from the cable so you can access the plug.  Like some kind of sliding union.

Yup all kinds of critters love cabling, I think it has a soy based product in it or something.

Solution is to put the cable in armored liquidtight conduit.

    Have a tower and a bundle of cat5's going up.  Seems raccoons(I

    tower this happened.  Anyone else have this happen?
