Coax Deterioration: Was: Anyone still has coax ethernet cable?

> The problem with cable that old is it deteriorates with time.

Plastics deteriorate when exposed to ultraviolet, but I'm not aware of any
mechanism that would cause coax to deteriorate. Do you have examples or
pointers to sources that collaborate this?
