Just learned that RG6 cable has a shelf life - nobody told me this

I ran across a spec sheet from Belden saying their RG6 coax is only good for 15 years before signal loss gets noticeable. Has anyone else run into old cable that just stopped passing signal on a service call?

Bought a spool from the 90s that still works fine for me.

That old stuff really does hold up better than a lot of the new filament, doesn't it? I swear they just don't make things the same way anymore, and a spool lasting that long is a solid win. Bet you've got some pretty good stories about prints you did with that roll back in the day.
