Your description sounds kinda like Mogami or Gepco mic/studio cable.
(Flexible, good shield)

Marshall Electronics is the importer for Mogami, and there are parts of the
catalog online at:

I've used Mogami for some installation work, and it was very well-behaved
cable.  Easy to strip just the insulation, and it's _incredibly_ flexible.

Full Compass and Markertek also carry some of these sorts of cable (Gepco,
Canare, etc.).  Both have decent online catalogs: www.fullcompass.com and
www.markertek.com.

These might get you a little nearer what you're looking for.
