This what gets installed by Mediacom cable and the only one of the
four with a foil second shield. Comscope sells a gazillion miles of
this stiff. Because of the smaller diameter, .300 inches compared to
4.05 I don't see how this could be mistaken for RG11U.

I have never used RG8U. I prefer RG213.

I really really do appreciate all of the email attempting to rectify
my misunderstanding of proper coax line terminology. However that
is a debate of miniature that I'm sure the original poster is not
asking about. The fact is if you lined up 10 hams and showed them
a roll marked RG11 at a hamfest, I would guess at least 9 of them
would expect it to the be foil + lousy braid stuff of the CATV era.
Perhaps I lead a sheltered life. I've never seen CATV RG11 in the
flesh, only in catalogs. And I've been no stranger to flea markets
for most of my adult life. I've seen lots of CATV stuff labeled RG6,
I've used a lot of it feeding RX antennas. 40 years ago, I even got
paid to install some of it in locations as diverse as Chicago town
homes and Sears Tower. :)
The fellow was asking about what he could use that was cheap.
Commonly referred to "RG11" - meaning the cheap stuff from the CATV
type (whatever the proper nomenclature is for that) - works fine in
ham applications. That is the point of my comment.
Yep -- for a while, and as long as it doesn't get wet. And it has
more loss than RG11 made from copper.
