Subject: RG-213 cable core as hv cable?

I wanted to ask the group about this.  Several years ago, I remember reading
somewhere that the polyethylene  surrounding RG-213 coaxial cable could
withstand up to 40 KV(?) in high voltage applications as long as the shield
and outer jacket were removed.  Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Jack
