I called Times Microwave and got a spec sheet by email. It is exotic, 50
ohm high temp good to 200 deg. C. Attenuation is .55dB/100' @10 MHz and 5.8
dB @ 1 GHz. Double shield and center conductor are all silver covered,
dielec is Teflon and outer jacket is fluorinated ethylene propylene.
Operating voltage is 7KVRMS & strength is 12 KVRMS. VP is 76%. Neat stuff,
made special for Boeing. Thanks to all who helped

At the OKC hamfest I got a piece of neat looking coax that is double
shielded with silver braid, with a sort of clear pink outer cover. It has
connectors so I don't know the thickness of the center conductor.
It's stamped with the following characters:
68999, AA-2831. 81205, 204-15578-1, AUGUST 1996

I asked the seller, an ex-Boeing employee about it and he said it's the
same kind as used in Air Force One. He couldn't recall the specs but said
it was Teflon, good to a Gig but he had used it outdoors. for 2 meters
and 440.

Can anyone tell me more or point me to a site?
tnx

I've tried to find the specs but get only one hit googling::

This site kind of confirms what the seller said.
