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).

It's all I've ever seen for RG-6 TV cabling. Try sanding the tip to see
if it turns silver, or use a magnet.

It's really a TV-only thing. Copper plated steel wire won't work for
many applications.
