Hello to all, I have been reading for some time and never had anything to add until now. I have learned a lot and want to thank all of you for the valuable information. To protect my coax from squirrels and the weed eater... I use 3" perforated drain pipe. I saw a cut down the back side and make it into a large piece of wire loom with a hand jig saw. Your cables can be slipped in and out just like wire loom. There are slip on caps that can be cut to fit over the ends. About $49.00 per 100' roll. Mike/W6YDE
