I use heat tape in all my custom viv's but when I purchase my racks I am considering the AP's with the heat cable. I have heard such good things about them that I will probably make the shift that way. Being an electronics tech I know the heat cable might be a bit more localized but from what I see in a rack system most only use 3 in heat tape so I would say not a big difference in surface area would be covered. Heat cable would definitely be more consistent throughout I think because it is really just a tube of heating conductor instead of the tape which is spaced out in strips and has room for loss between the conductor paths. Just my two cents but the more I think about the nature of both products the more my electronics background is steering me away from the tape and to the cable. I would say if you are having no problems and like how the cable works in your set ups why change.

I'm going to close this thread since the OP deleted the original question.
