Will RG-174 handle 100W at HF/6M?
For the reasons given in other posts, I wouldn't trust it.
One thing I've seen with RG174 is migration of the center conductor
caused by I^2R heating where the cable is bent into a small radius. It
does not take much shift to cause a center conductor-to-braid short.
If you have to use a small diameter cable because of physical
limitations, I would go with a Teflon equivalent, such as RG-188.
