sounds like some 75 ohm cable self support

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Identify a coax and possible connector vendor
Hi,
One of the ham repeater owners in the area has acquired a coax that I can't
identify. No markings on the jacket. It has a nominal jacket diameter of 0.58
inches (it looks to be the 'standard' black PE), it has a solid aluminum shield
(0.51" OD), about 0.028" thick. The dielectric looks to be the PE foam. The
center conductor is copper over aluminum with a 0.11" OD (about #10 gauge). It
looks to be 50 ohm based on a rough calculation.
The interesting thing about this cable is that it has a messenger wire
molded to the outside of the jacket. It is about # 10 gauge steel. It is not
wrapped around the coax, just to one side, about 0.2 inches away. When I say
molded, I mean that messenger wire and coax have the same black insulator
jacket with a rib of the same material between them.
I am looking for a source of connectors for this cable, so any help
identifying it would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Rick, N5RB
