FSJ4 has a black polyethylene jacket. This material used in other Heliax
products and it is perfectly suited for outdoor use. The jacket is thinner
than LDF4 however it is still pretty though.

Avoid using Superflex outdoors though. Stick with good high-quality braided
cables for rotor loops and the like, even if it means having to spend a
little more on 7-16 connectors (considering how much you likely saved by
using 7-16 DIN connectors on your heliax, it's probably worth it).
Personally I don't like any of the "ultraflex" cables like LMR400UF, 9913F,
and similar variants outdoors when I need to use a braided cable, I stick
with the ol' reliables like mil-spec RG-213, RG-214, and RG-393.
