It's a specialty cable. Plenum, air dielectric. Meant for indoor use.

Pros: low loss, doesn't create dangerous fumes when burned.

Cons: Not good for outdoor use - Not UV protected - any water ingress will travel the length of the cable (it's a hose) - hard to find connectors at a reasonable cost.

Does anyone have experience with HST4-50 Heliax?
Can it be buried, is it uv resistant like ldf4?
Anything else I need to know on using it?
