Do you have the 12 conductor Steppir control cable?

Hi Frank,
DAVIS RF Co. can get you all types of control cable, same as Wireman or
otherwise (most control cables not yet on our web site). Also, you may
want to consider a shielded cable, depending on the application (not
necessary in most rotator app's). Lastly, we are the only one I know that
supplies exclusively Polyethylene (PE) control cables. PE is not
susceptible to UV, whereas PVC is (and most PVC control cables do not have
anti UV ingredient).
Please contact me if I can help. Our prices are very good, we're cable
design engineers, and of course, we are very friendly. HI
