That's the 7919a and equivalent. Good cable, just a PITA. And expensive.
The foil tears easily. 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.

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.

thats how the belden is, soft sheath is more durable. I love coming
across it. the apex is prone to pinholing and kinking

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.

if i was in charge, we never would have gone away from the belden
on the residential outdoor. apex 9 in the winter is so stiff, the
foil tears and the drain is like a bread tie. but at least its not
green toughcable :-)

Love you too Steve :-)
We do sell Primus, Belden, and Shireen as well if you would
rather use one of those cables.
