<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Eras Medium ITC",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The TC-Pro looks like it’s outdoor rated, but not so much tower use. In some cases that I may go, I will be collocated with public safety equipment and I know that the
cable they will require must be tower rated cable. I like this stuff, even at it’s price, since it can be grounded just like coax at the required points of contact using standard grounding kits provided by Times or Belden. I get it’s pricy, but I’d rather
be safe than sorry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
