Never seen a defect with Belden 1300A/7919A or the Best-Tronics clone of it. It ain’t cheap though.

Earlier this year I unrolled some off a spool and the outer jacket was missing in a spot, CTI sent me a new box and wanted the old one back, today found another box with a HUGE section of outerjacket missing, obvious manufacturing defect because the footage marking was printed on the foil shield! Opened another box from the same pallet and immediately found another defect on that roll that wasn't even off the spool yet. I need to find another brand of cable, I CAN NOT be having these poor quality control issues showing up on towers which is where this cable was being installed today....
