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

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.
