It's what Andrew calls Heliax 2.0 AVA, Andrew Virtual Air and AVAL Andrew Virtual Air Aluminum. They are using a new lower density foam and thinner copper to get slightly improved attenuation. Stay away from the aluminum stuff, the corrugated shield is too thin and brittle. It's hard to install connectors on and it doesn't bend very well. Been there too many times already, got the hat but not the T-Shirt. ;-)

Aluminum Heliax? Never heard of it. I didn't get the beginning of this thread...
