Hi Stokely, there are several RG8 similars (size, electrical spec and
attenuation) which utilize a proper density of Polyethylene which qualifies
for direct burial. There is also one step up from that which is a "flooded"
cable which, if punctured or cut, will self seal. It is more expensive. Let
me know the freq. range, power, and chance of the burial being "discovered "
by an errant pick ax, shovel or back hoe, etc and I will make some specific
recommendations. Cheers, Steve Davis, K1PEK, DAVIS RF Co.

<< Hello,
Is there a MIL SPEC or an outer jacket material spec for RG8 type coax that
will be directly buried in the ground? Tnx.
