My problem coax jumper was solit not foam and it was only bad for a couple inches. I cut some up to check.

  I saw some coax a few years ago where the center conductor  was not

correctly it was a foam  dielectric...

A big problem with foam dielectric  is that it'll cold flow under the right
conditions. It's a problem with wound  coax baluns.
