Hi Skipp

The common white Teflon coax that I run across is RG-188. You are correct I
have never seen the part number on it but Teflon jackets do not take
printing well.

A fairly complete listing of Teflon coax cables is below

RG Number	Belden Number	Cable OD	
RG-393				.390		50 Ohm, RG-8 size coax
RG-304/U			.280		50 ohm
RG-141A/U	83241		.187		Single shield, 50 Ohm
RG-58 size coax
RG-142B/U	83242		.195		Double shielded,50 Ohm RG-58
size coax
RG-400/U			.195		50 Ohm RG-58 size coax
RG-303/U	84303		.170		50 ohm
RG-180/U	83264		.141		50 ohm
RG-187A/U	83267		.111		50 ohm, White Teflon tape
jacket
RG-188A	83269		.108		50 ohm, White Teflon tape jacket
RG-179/U	83264		.100		75 ohm RG-174 size coax.
Very common for 75 ohm cabling
RG-316/U	84303,84316	.098		50 ohm,
RG-178B/U	83265		.071		50 ohm,	Very small Teflon
coax

Thermax/sonic (http://www.thermaxcdt.com)  is another large manufacturer of
Teflon coax cables.

RF parts has RG-316, 141, 142, 179

Also of interest for those making some types of power splitters and
combiners for solid state power amps
Communications Concepts (http://www.communications-concepts.com) 
has 25 ohm coax DA25070, DA25090, Microdot D260-41180-0000.

Hopefully this will give you some options to chose from.
