It doesn’t take much of a nick either to later find a build-up of rust
particles when opening up an unsealed F connector. For the last two years,
I've been purchasing 1,000 ft rolls of Belden 1829BC from Markertek. Price is
approx. USD $150 per roll. It's gel-flooded RG6 with a solid copper inner
conductor and works well with old and new SNS compression connectors like the
new PPC EX6XLSPlus I mentioned earlier. A solid copper inner has the added
advantage of lower voltage drop when used in DC power-passing applications on
extended runs.
