Sounds like MiracleSeal, made by Revere Products in Cleveland, 216 573 7100.

Available in 2.5 inch wide rolls, in addition to the wide stuff.

Very similar to CoaxSeal and a lot cheaper.

I much prefer the self fusing siliconized tapes such as Plymouth Plysafe,
because they don't leave a total mess on the connector when you take it
apart.  In some awkward places the CoaxSeal type product is the only way,
however.
