I don't know if these were developed for satellite, but they work as part of multi-floor SWM systems. They are much smaller in diameter than RG59, have F connectors on them, and come in sets of 6 (I think), each a different color. The ones I've seen are a foot to 18 inches long. I've seen them used in the phone rooms on different floors where SWM outputs break out from the four to six leads from the roof dish.

At the moment I've looked at perhaps a dozen vendors, and nobody seems to have these.

It would be convenient to have a few of these for interconnects.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

I looked for similar thin flexible cable myself. Cablestogo was the only real source I found

Good luck on this one. In 2008 this stuff was standard. Now, finding ends and someone that knows how to terminate them, not so much.........

Not sure what you mean.

The cable is readily available by a bunch of companies:  Belden, Liberty, Gepco, Canare, etc.

Ends too:  F, RCA, BNC

It is a normal compression fit connector.

If Ernie and thecapnredfish really just want the pre-mades, Sonora stocks many colors and many different lengths.

Here's another RC success story. Sonora is THE COMPANY whose name I could not remember. Thanks.
