As best as I recall/determine it really is RG-58 cable with a characteristic impendence of 50 ohms. It was used in old style Ethernet networks where the PCs were daisy chained one to the next with BNC "T" connectors. Terminated on each end of the line with a 50 ohm termination resistor.

I had a ton of those cables, about 2 meters long each with BNCs on each end, 100s of those "T" connectors. Could not even give it away at hamfests. Wound up in the trash.

If the cable can handle 100 watts, it should work. I don't think SWR will be an issue.
