I use RG-400/U for this kind of stuff. It's about .200" diameter, PTFE
dielectric, stranded (silver plated copper) center conductor, braid (silver
plated copper) outer conductor, reasonably flexible, takes extreme heat and no
problem with legal limit power even at 10:1 VSWR. Certainly available in cut
lengths from The RF Connection and other sources.

Subject: Re: [Amps] RG6 Power Handling
Hi all,
what 50Ω coax cable would be recommended for the internal wiring of a compact
160-10m legal limit amplifier? I'm looking for a cable thinner than RG-8, much
more flexible, non-foam (to avoid de-centering in bends), and that can be
purchased easily in small quantities. Of course, it must handle the power, even
with a slightly elevated SWR, without overheating.
Suggestions are welcome!
Manfred
