We installed something close to 80k' of Toughcable and have probably installed somwhere close to 100k' of Toughcable since the 2nd generation of cable. I haven't had any issues with it since it was fixed. We have tried other cable from different manufacturers, ARC, Shireen, Apex9, etc. Nothing wrong with any of it, just keep finding myself still ordering the Toughcable for both towers and installs.
