I've personally had good results with  Belden 9913F7 cable outdoors in the west 
(wet) coast of Canada for non GPS RF applications (two runs have been in 
service for over 15 years.)   

I seem to recall in the early 1990's using a different style of what I believe 
was Belden  "9913"  cable that was constructed differently.  (Sorry I forget 
the exact designation.)  I can't speak to the performance out doors of that 
cable as I didn't use it for any length of time.   

As usual the experiences of others may differ from mine.  

All the best.
