[TowerTalk] RE2: 123eWireless 1/2" Flexible cable (LDF4-50 like)

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

Thanks Jim,

The Dielectric is a STAR PE with air.   
I don't see a pressurization requirement, but after you pointed it the
partial air dielectric I get it, at least for traditional outdoor use.
The tubing behing the center pin on my LMR-900 would fill with a few ounces
of water every season, and seap into the connector till I learned how to
seal it.

I was thinking if the cable was in a burried chase, say underground 18" down
in sealed S80-PVC, that would limit the range of any thermal cycles and I
think would that limit condensate acculalations to a minimum.  

I found some of this cable at salvage pricing so at some point I'm thinking
is it worth the risk.  ?

Thanks again...

It's air dialectic. So pressurize or use indoors only. It's also plenum 
rated. So use indoors or put in conduit and pressurize. From this, 
doesn't look like they make pressurized connectors. Andrew connectors 
may work... Key word is MAY.
