Thanks Jim,
None of the original spool markings remain. Just the Manufacturer is known.
The cable does not have any part numbers, just (Year) manufactured and length
markings every foot.
It was acquired from a CATV installer many years ago.
None of the info in your notes would apply to what I have.
None of these are corrugated.
CommScope 7/8", 5/8", 1/2" annular/smoothwall (jacketed) (1997-1999) and Times
3/4" annular/smoothwall (bare)
LRC:
I'm also looking for info about using LRC 2-piece X-Series or K-Series or "W"
or "G" system parts
for use on my 7/8", 3/4", 5/8", 1/2" hardline. I'm especially interested it
what others have done to
apply Type-N or other adapters to LRC components.

connectors
There are MANY varieties of hard line of the same size, and even from
the same manufacturer, and each requires a connector that mates it
mechanically and electrically. Look carefully at the hard line you have,
find a mfr and type number, and search the internet to find specs and
mating connector types. Here's a link to notes I wrote several years ago
after going through that process for integrating several types of used
and surplus hard line into my own station. http://k9yc.com/HardLine.pdf
