it's the LMRx00UF (ultraflex) you want, not plain LMRx00.

As has been noted, the UF jacket has poor UV resistance. It is NOT a good choice.

p.s. RG213 has been known to melt...

How much power were you running:)

RG numbers have not been a spec for 40-50 years -- rather they are a general description of things like physical size, impedance, and whether the center conductor is solid or stranded. I'd guess your experience with melting may have been the result of buying using poorly manufactured coax, or using too much heat, trying to solder to poor quality connectors.
