Also, though the cable itself may not have trouble with the

rated for much lower voltage than the line itself.

Yep, during duststorms and thunderstorms, the connectors
arc. Arcing at the coax connectors of my IC-745, IC-725,
IC-706, and IC-756PRO has never seemed to injure any of
them. Is that just luck or are they that well protected?
