Default copper transmission lines with polumer insulator

Hi all,

I am working on an application of transmission lines for use in
magnetic resonance. I know I have seen in the past pre-made
transmission line that has an inner conductor surrounded by a white
insulator ( I think it is Kel-F, it may be teflon) and a copper layer
on the outside. It is quite stiff, and comes in long pieces that can
be bent with a little effort. Does anyone know where I can pick some
of this up? I have been through about 200 google pages with no luck.

Thanks


Micro Coax (http://www.micro-coax.com/) is one source for semi-rigid coaxial
cable, and comes in (IIRC) up to 8' lengths.


You can get it in longer lengths (at least 100') in a big coil (it's
like copper tubing, after all).


The stuff isn't cheap,
though... be prepared to empty your wallet!


Depends on what you call expensive.. $4-10/ft in 50' coils is a typical
price. Pasternack sells 5' lengths of 0.085" copper for $3.66/ft
