Anyone have knowledge of CommScope coax, made in USA?

It is being sold for about $260 for a 1000' spool by www.bizsyscon.com .
Specs are at:

and are not as good as LMR-400, but it seems pretty close.

Color is white, not black.  UV issues?

What is wise advice?  Avoid completely?  Or OK for the lower bands (40/80/160)?  A worthy choice for any HF because it is cheap?
