Default Is "RG-58 cable" really "RG-58 cable"?

I should know better, but I bought 50 ft of "RG-58 with PL-259" connectors off the internet.

Question is, the cable is described as 10base2 cable, not RG-58 although I understand that RG-58 is a spec, not a product.

Connectors are PL-259, but the short kind, but not sure if that's an issue.

Cable made in USA by BerkTek, which seems to be a big manufacturer of cable and fiber products, but for computer applications.

1 - Any thoughts if this cable will work for HF at 100 watts or less?
2 - Any way to test it with minimal test equipment?
