Thank you.... I would only be using the big Trilogy stuff for main runs
of hardline on the tower or other places appropriate to the hardline and
larger bending radius.
I've never minded paying for the right tools for the job. I always use
the spec'd tool for whatever cable stock and/or connector I am
employing. I will likely "stick with" my current chose cable
stock/connectors for jumpers, too (also copper).
I appreciate the response, and thank you again!

Mechanically, can't be beat. Water migration does not happen, and it
is warranted against that. Connectors attach quite solidly -- with the
reduced copper in copper cables, the Commscope and RFS connectors do
not attach to their cables as well as Trilogy. Surplus connectors are
rare, however. I have always used Trilogy tools to install connectors,
and it was effortless. Without the tools could be a challenge. I stick
with copper for jumpers, a personal preference. The Trilogy cables are
stiffer that the copper cables. I would be concerned if you need to
snake it through underground conduit with bends. And, yes-- it is
absolutely American made. Good Luck. --Mike, WV2ZOW

I've not yet gone that far down the road. For folks who are used to
scrounging reel ends at Hanfests, I am sure it will be considered
expensive. <wink>
Cost is why I am looking at buying a reel and splitting it with
another/other users...
PS - To confirm, it IS American made in Pearl, MS.
