Actually, the gel is a water block and it keeps water from wicking along the pairs if the jacket is damaged.
How would it get damaged? I once watched a woodpecker pounding away on a tower for 5 full minutes before I banged on the tower and he flew away. I think he just liked the sound it made when he pecked on it.

$150-270 per 1000'!!! Holy COW! The gell filled stuff is for direct burial and
underground conduit runs. All you need is the UV resistant kind for above
ground, outdoor use. Belden 1594A can be found for $55-80 per 1000'

I just talked to someone at Graybar and the pricing is $261.64 for 1000' spool. I hope the shipping isn't more than $150 with netnimble.

Just went through this since sB is not shipping their radios with


50'

runs of cat5 anymore (this is a good thing). John is right, Graybar


has

1000' spools for about $120. It's the good, gooey gel-filled type


that

is harder to crimp, but I think I'll be glad I'm using it.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a company that sells bulk outdoor Cat5 to use
with the SB outdoor products?
