[Fourlanders] Direct Burial CATV Hardline

[S Kosmetatos]

Brian, I use a product called Gel Off Plus that I use for cleaning cables
that will also remove certain adhesives and cable filling compounds like
icky-pic. 

I'm not sure if this will remove what you have, but I have a couple spare
packets you are welcome to if you want to hook up with me near work in
Alpharetta. 

It's made by Rainbow Technology Corporation, and is product 4217. Maybe you
can research it online at http://www.rainbowtech.net/catalog.php?pid=4375
and see if you think it might help you.

Kos

Subject: [Fourlanders] Direct Burial CATV Hardline

Does anyone have a good, simple and preferably cheap suggestion for
cleaning the gooey adhesive off of a stripped back piece CATV
hardline. This is the stuff with the thick black outer sheath, solid
aluminium outer shield and goo permeated inner foam dielectric.

I have some homebrew compression fittings that were fashioned from
brass plumbing parts silver soldered onto the 2 piece style of N male
connector. Yes, it is 75 ohms. For what I am going to use it for, it
won't matter. Anyhow, that adhesive is going to make a poor connection
unless I can clean it off.

Does anyone have a anti-oxidant recommendation for reducing the bad
affects of the aluminum to brass compression connection?

Thank you,
Brian
