I think it is "Conquest" that makes the USA-1 cable, not "Concord" ?

I think you are confusing this with the Gotham cable that Eldhart was
referring to - the versions with colored jackets are discontinued but
black is still available.

A drain wire normally implies a foil shield, which normally implies a
not particularly flexible cable. A cable with a spiral shield should
be almost as easy to terminate as cable with a drain wire - cable with
braided shields are obviously a little more work because you have to
unbraid them. In general - Canare and Mogami both make nice flexible
cables and are usually available in various colors. Canare cables
tend to use a braided shield where Mogami uses a spiral shield.
