Maybe if all radios had SFP slots and DC power inputs. /Mike Hammett ........ducking On 8/5/2016 6:28 PM, Josh Reynolds wrote: I've never seen a level of religion in IT equivalent to the cable religion on this list.

I like everything about the Shireen 1042 for tower cable. Larger tinned stranded drain wire would be nice, but meh. The foil is more than heavy enough and isn't brittle like the Belden/Best-Tronics stuff. On 8/5/2016 2:56 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: 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.
