RG142 will handle the power but the center conductor is silver plate on copper clad solid steel (SCCS). RG400 is a more flexible choice as it has a stranded center, silver over copper, but given the double braid shield and TFE insulation it is still stiffer than RG8X. I use soldered PL's since the TFE is very heat resistant.

Or get them made to order, not bad prices considering what the raw cable cost is per foot.

i think they will put whatever connectors you want on each end.

I have a number of filters and switches to wire up in my QRO station. I would like 
the necessary coax jumpers to be thinner (0.25" ?) and more flexible than, say, 
RG 213. They will be terminated by crimped PL 259s (or equivalent).

Any suggestions as to what I should use?
