Please help me identify a length of hard line. I'm certain it is 50 ohm. 
It was originally purchased from Phelps-Dodge in NJ for a UHF repeater 
along with a duplexer and base station antenna. My memory of the dates 
isn't great, but I think it was around 1980, plus or minus a few years.

Measurements, approximate:

foam dielectric
center conductor solid copper, od 0.175
shield corrugated spiral copper, od 0.540
jacket od 0.640

I'd like to know if connectors are still available for this cable. It 
has a male Type N on each end, but there is a fair amount of corrosion 
present and any soft goods that were part of those connectors (seals, 
o-rings) are no longer useful.

Thanks.
