TV coax is very brittle. The inner wire is copper-plated steel and the
outer shield is aluminum wire and aluminum foil. It will quickly crack
where it meets the connectors.


What planet do you live on? I have never seen TV coax as you describe.
Coax with copper-plated steel inner conductor is mostly used as data cable
(ethernet).


You want to see the crap which passes for rg58 at maplin electronics.
