BBDGe is hard to work with, but you just dont ever have issues with
it. Its all we use for towers, its rodent proof (ish) pinholes dont
ever cause penetration, Other then getting in a hurry and slicing your
finger a bit on the copper occasionally its great. We dont run the
copper into most radio housings, we cut it back 18 inches using just
the inner sheath to run to the radio, shingle some good super 33 to
seal it and we bond the copper to the radio housing.

We're using Shireen DC-1042 (dry gel tape) on towers now.

What cable do most use for tower installations?
I am about to install at some new tower sites and wanted to
see if anyone has had extended success with anything. The
current cable I use is Superior Essex BBDGe which is a flooded
cable with a corrugated copper shield. This cable is very
thick and bulky and works well on AM tower when I install on
those.
I saw that Ubiquiti has something that they call TC-CARRIER
that looks like it could meet my needs though I do not know
how stable the sheathing is in the sunlight. I was looking at
moving to Cat 6 though I have never come across Cat 6 tower cable.
Thoughts?
