Yeah. If I wasn't clear before, I'm talking about the Primus
double-jacketed stuff that's a regular unshielded cat5e wrapped in foil
and another jacket over that. Total garbage. Erich is correct, not even
a year and it leaks. We re-cabled an entire tower (about 14 runs) and
ALL of them leaked. We used good TnB Ty-raps. And I'm sure Erich used
his standard extra wide tape method. So it wasn't the ties being too tight.
Just my opinion. Use it if you want.

All of that shit we used ended up leaking. Never again.

We use the 414 for customer installs but do not like the 416,
foil seems thin and don't like the double jacket.

Subject: [AFMUG] Tower Cabling
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?
