[TowerTalk] Cable entrance - Microflect

[John Lloyd]

Arliss,

Have you looked at what Valmont Pirod Microflect offers? They have a
rubber cushion where you have one 4" hole that will enter 4 each 7/8'
Heliax cables. Entry panels are available with multiple holes.

Their web site is: http://www.pirod.com/index.html

Andrew also sells the same items under their name.
