How so? Run a cable for 3 years and have a problem with two rolls at
$xxx/roll. Cost savings over other stuff was what exactly over those 3
years had you used something different? You saw two bad rolls, no known
problem with other installs, right?
I don't know how big your company is, but just in doing some rough math
it would take a hell of a lot of bad cable to replace the +/- $90,000
saved during that time. Are you working on something super-duper
critical here?

Cheapest I seen on that 1300a is $300/roll. Almost seems worth it

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

*Subject:* [AFMUG] WTF apex 9 cable defects
Been using APEX 9 cable for 3 years with no problems until the
last year. 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....
