It's a specialty cable. Plenum, air dielectric. Meant for indoor use.

Pros: low loss, doesn't create dangerous fumes when burned.

Cons: Not good for outdoor use - Not UV protected - any water ingress 
will travel the length of the cable (it's a hose) - hard to find 
connectors at a reasonable cost.
