There's also contamination of the foam inner insulator by plastic goop from

Universal has it. The RG-8X, with black non contaminating jacket. I've been
using the stuff for buried runs for years. One installation up north has been
working well for at least 15 years.

Good catch! I see they also have RG-213. Just wish I could find RG-6 in a
noncontaminating jacket that wasn't a special order; I don't need five miles
of it.
