I was just given a coil of 7/8 hardline coax that I have not seen
before.
It has plastic discs inside to separate the core from the outer
aluminum tube which I suppose uses air as the dielectric. Anybody got
any info on this stuff
and any advantages it may have over the normal hardline cable?

Look on Google for "fused disc" AND "cable".

Most Cable TV companies stopped using it when they started using frequencies
above 300 MHz.

This cable acts as a filter around 350 MHz.
