You are referring to RG-142 which can carry over 3KW on 10m. It is
teflon and lower loss than RG-58 but it does NOT have less loss than
RG-214. It gets its power handling capability by being able to operate
at high temperature. Also it is not very flexible since the center
conductor is a single silver plated copperweld wire. See
http://www.timesmicrowave.com/cgi-bin/calculate.pl for a nice coaxial
cable loss/power calculator.
