The flooded F6 I use for my Beverages has been chewed down to the center
conductor in one spot for years. Didn't affect a thing. That's one of the
things that flooded coax is for.
It is Commscope quad-shielded F-6 and with the inner foil bonded to the
dielectric. Bought a 1000' spool of it from eBay. It lies on the ground
next to a cattle fence.
"What, me worry?" ;-)
