Seems I saw a post here within the last year that diagnosed the cause of
blackened copper shield?
My case: I have a buried run of Cable Experts RG213/U Mil Spec, supposedly
good for direct burial. It recently got nailed by the lawnmower (thanks to
the XYL!), but there's enough stub left above ground to repair and add a
connector, salvaging the buried run.
I looked at a few of the chopped up pieces and the copper braid is BLACK.
The center conductor looks normal, slightly dull copper color but in good
shape, easily cleaned with steel wool for solder/connector.
