Do any list RF power and voltage specs?
Some do, some don't. Like anything else, some mfrs publish better data 
sheets than others. For example, compare Fair-Rite's data sheets with 
any other mfr of ferrite parts.
Nearly all list the composition of the center conductor and the shield. 
Most commonly available RG6sare designed for CATV/MATV, with copper clad 
steel center, a thin Al foil shield, and maybe a thin braid. It doesn't 
take much more than common sense to figure out that a thin foil shield 
won't handle much power, and at MF and HF will be pretty lossy. There 
are others with a solid copper center and a more robust braid. Belden 
makes an RG6 with a double copper braid shield. I found a similar cable 
with Pasternak's name on it in a surplus house, and grabbed it at a very 
good price.
