The outer shield of LDF4 is essentially copper tubing.

Andrew LDF cables are copper tubing, of course you can kink them if you
make a sharp bend or you can flatten the cable with enough pressure. If
you plan on running feedline across your driveway I would pick something
else. If you need sharp bends consider FSJ4. Why don't you obtain a sample
of each and see which suits YOUR particular needs better.

##  Both  1/2 inch heliax.. and  LMR-600DB   use a copper clad
aluminum center conductor....  no tubing used on these 2 x  cables.

##  7/8 inch heliax uses cu tubing...as does LMR-1200DB.

##  You  have to be careful  with the cu coated solid al  center conductor.
Easy to nick the cu, and ring it 360 degs...resulting in a cu-al-cu  center.
