Ditto Carl's comments. I've used RG213 for years without issues.
I did buy some 20kv ht wire from the fleamarket at Friedrichshafen one year but
have no idea where to source some. I tend to fill the shack (and garage, and
attic) with stuff I think I'll need one day as I find it El Cheapo at hamfests.
Which is probably why I have half the world supply of junk....

I wouldnt trust RG-8 as the jacket will eventually pollute the dielectric.
Thats why RG-213 was developed and Ive seen that used at 20KV in industrial
applications. Ive used it at 6KV with mil spec N connectors and never lost a
HV fuse.
