Here's what I use for the run up the mast to my HexBeam. The center conductor is stranded copper, and the jacket is thermoplastic elastomer. MUCH more flexible than standard LMR-400...thus, the name LMR-400 UltraFlex:
https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/tmv-lmr-400ultra I have a run going up the mast support forming a loop at the HexBeam. About 25 feet of a run of 250 feet of standard LMR-400. Barrel connectors cause negligible signal loss. Connection is protected by internal "Stuff" application, and externally by Coax-Seal.
