What are the differences between RG400 and LMR400?

I just bought 10 feet of RG-400U (supposedly Harbour Industries) through E-bay
for $13. Belatedly, I learned it was coming from China. It's now here, but I
don't think it is for real - it only has one shield, and is somewhat stiff. At
least the inner conductor isn't magnetic.There's no printing on the cable.
Buyer beware.

I third the sugjestion of the RG400 small enough for all the switching in
a more then one radio setup.
The tight bend radius the small diameter make for a clean instlation that
coupled with the double shielding it’s a WIN WIN
Watch Ebay or other surplus suppliers

Keith:
A couple very similar candidate cables are RG-400 and RG-303. RG-400 is
double shielded while 303 is single. They're good as interconnects
because they have a small bend radius (about 1"). RG-400 uses
multi-strands of copper for the center conductor; RG-300 uses copper
clad steel. Either will handle 1500 watts at HF.

My multi-two station, with third spotting station, is being rebuilt into new
digs. I have a lot of 3-4 foot RG213 cables running between the amp, power
meter, tuner and switch. I have heard there may be a smaller cable that has
very little loss, but handles 1500 watts. I would appreciate any comments
on what is being used today. Thanks.
