You are referring to RG-142 which can carry over 3KW on 10m.  It is 
teflon and lower loss than RG-58 but it does NOT have less loss than 
RG-214.  It gets its power handling capability by being able to operate 
at high temperature.  Also it is not very flexible since the center 
conductor is a single silver plated copperweld wire.   See 
http://www.timesmicrowave.com/cgi-bin/calculate.pl for a nice coaxial 
cable loss/power calculator.
