ok Eric, i used one here that looks like it but it was call FLEXWELL i think,,,,i should go and take a look again. the outside is in aluminium and the center core is in copper . it used special connector too,this cable is really hard to manouver too,,, when fix it should not be flex many time by cold weather but it is 50 ohms impedance. i used it in the wood for remote area site .
