Center conductor is silver plated copper strands with a steel core which
I'd never seen before.


I think it's silver plated copper clad steel (SCCS) which is basically silver-plated copperweld. The silver is probably a very thin flash coat to make it more solderable, and the copper is the current carrying material.

if you google M17/112 you find a lot more datasheets out there.

##  Nope.  Look at

It clearly depicts the center conductor as solid in their cross sectional 
diagram.  The only silver plated copper
strands are the  two braids.   I wonder how much this stuff sells  for ?
