Interesting,
I was curious on this also, so Googled it and Pasternack has a datasheet
for RG-213U
and it says it is only 5K
Max. Operating Voltage(VRMS): 5000

I think 213 will take that easily. It was a while ago, but I'm sure
that I couldn't detect any leakage on 213 with my tester maxed out at
16kV. A local 'maker' group used it to repair a 35kV lead on a laser
cutter. As far as I know it's working ok.
Good quality RG58 should take 8kV without any problems - again, I've
had it at the limit of my tester. I suspect the cable working voltage
specs are often derived from connector limitations.

Does anybody know how much max V is on RG-213 ? Like what are the
results if a hi-pot tester used..
and say cranked up to the point where just a few microamps occurs
. I have an application where I need a HV
cable, less than 10 ft, that will easily handle 5700 / 7700 vdc.
It will be hardwired at both ends, no HV connectors. And with braid
peeled way back from the center conductor, like 2-4 inches . The
plan was to also wrap some red electrical tape every few inches
along its entire length, to readily identify it as a HV cable.
Tnx.... JIm VE7RF
