like to find some CI cables. (the thick blue coaxial cables)
Aren't those just
ordinary RG-8/U / RG-213/U style 50 Ohm koax cables
with ordinary TNC connectors and an extraordinary blue color?
I have some (non DEC) CI cables. They are just TNC terminated blue RG58.
I don't know their impedance; they may be 50-ohm. They're definitely
not RG58, though...they are much fatter. Not quite as fat as RG8
though. There's little difference in diameter between the outer jacket
of the coax and the TNC connectors.
They are also semi-rigid, somewhat similar to Heliax but not quite
that rigid.
