What do you guys (and gals) recommend for the external jacket material on coax that will be used outside: PVC, Fluorocopolymer Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene?

thanks!

We leave it to the manufacturer's specs to tell us what the black covering will and will not stand up to.

In general, the designation "U" as in RG-8U means the jacket is
non-contaminating and will last a long, long time outdoors.

thanks Tom,

So thats what the U and X designations mean.

Thanks again!

there is also coax made which is "waterproof". Supposedly, it lasts much longer outside.

We use two cables outside
1: Andrews helix
2: LMR cable
