exactly what I was looking for, thanks Steve.
I know either the wireman or the rf connection had this huge list of coax 
cables and all the technical info to go along with them.
the wireman has their own brand of coax and some of it appears to be pretty 
good, even the RG8X stuff.
not terribly expensive either as far as that goes...relative to other online 
and brick and mortor prices anyway.
