[TowerTalk] Belden 9913F7 and 9913FX?

[Dick Green]

Hi. I read a recent post here from Press the Wireman that Belden has
released a new version of 9913F called 9913F7. His description indicates a
stranded center conductor, but isn't specific about the dielectric
configuration (the word Mylar is used, however.) A friend says he got
something called 9913FX from Cable X-Perts that has a stranded center
conductor and a dielectric configuration that sounds just like the old
9913 -- a hollow plastic tube with a spiral plastic support for the center
conductor. This sounds completely unlike the old foam-core 9913F or
LMR-400UF. Has anyone seen or used this stuff yet? Is the dielectric like
9913? Is the stuff as flexible as 9913F? I know the stories about
condensation inside 9913 and center conductor migration in 9913F, so no need
to go into that.

73, Dick WC1M
