Times says the jacket on LMR-600-UF is TPE. A web search turned up this, among others:

Does anybody make a version of LMR-600UF that has a decent outer jacket on
it....like what's used on RG-213U ??

The outer jacket on LMR-600UF is super soft rubber, prone to knicks and
abrasion, and does not seem to be UV resistant.

Plan B is to use use 2" wide electrical tape, and cut it into  say 24-30"
lengths, and run the tape inline with the LMR-600UF, then wrap it around
the coax jacket.  Then the next 24-30" etc, etc.

This is for a crank up tower, and no, I don't want to use LMR-400UF or
213-U.
