Have you tried the Shireen DC-1042? It’s similar to Belden, but the foil isn’t bonded to the jacket so you can actually fold it back. It has the dry gel impregnated tape instead of the clear mylar in the Belden. Only thing I miss maybe is the stranded drain wire. I forget which Belden version has that, we used to buy both 1300a and 7919a, I think maybe it was the 7919a that had the stranded drain wire.
The Shireen pullboxes work pretty nice.

I love coming across it. the apex is prone to pinholing and kinking On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 2:17 PM, Ken Hohhof <[email protected]> wrote: I don’t buy Commscope 5NF4 anymore because the installers won’t use it because they hate the goo. They do have to admit however when they go to a 10 year old install that it stands up to the weather really, really well.
