Read this in another post where a member was discussing a J pole he built and was having issuess. He said his coax had some "black death"
Tried googling but of course google thinks I'm interested in music.
Can someone tell me what this means?
I've been wondering about some coax I have laying around myself. Its a Columbia RG8 /U (.405 diameter) and when I strip it back, the copper shield isn't brightly colored.
My copper shield is a dingy darker color although the center conductor looks fine. The shield is copper and you can see the copper color, but there's a dark oxidation taking place.
Is that what black death is? Is my coax going bad?
