Keith:
A couple very similar candidate cables are RG-400 and RG-303. RG-400 is 
double shielded while 303 is single.  They're good as interconnects 
because they have a small bend radius (about 1"). RG-400 uses 
multi-strands of copper for the center conductor; RG-300 uses copper 
clad steel.  Either will handle 1500 watts at HF.
