Hi Frank,

   DAVIS RF  Co. can get you all types of control cable, same as Wireman or 
otherwise (most control cables not yet on our web site).   Also, you may 
want to consider a shielded cable, depending on the application (not 
necessary in most rotator app's).  Lastly,  we are the only one I know that 
supplies exclusively Polyethylene  (PE) control cables.  PE is not 
susceptible to UV, whereas PVC is (and most PVC control cables do not have 
anti UV ingredient).

Please contact me if I can help.  Our prices are very good, we're cable 
design engineers, and of course,   we are very friendly.   HI
