OK guys, I am confused. What is the insulation in the Amphenol 83-1SP ? What type of teflon is it ?

I have never heard of that. BTW, PTFE is never clear, AFAIK. In any event, PTFE is greatly inferior mechanically, and has no electrical advantage at HF, or even UHF. It's high temperature rating is also of no consequence for most ham applications. I don't know why any knowledgeable person would even want it, except in some corner case like a common mode choke made with PTFE coax.
