TV coax is very brittle. The inner wire is copper-plated steel and the

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).

The stuff with foil is higher quality, used mostly for satellite dish
feeder. TV coax is just a copper inner with about half a dozen fine
strands for a screen.

Yes, and i've seen rg58 like that at maplin electronics!

Just for your information :-)
