We have 1021 on a lot of towers and haven't had any leaks, but we just
decided that everything will be the gel tape stuff going forward. For
towers anyway. We still use the 1021 on installs.

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?
