With some older analog VOM's having a 6 KV socket
Id say the probe wire is good to at least 10 KV,
?
Ive seen regular RG8/213 used to over 6KV in
commercial installations to run HV around.but I wouldnt do it with worn out
hamfest wire, Ive used it to 3600V for 30 years in my 2M amp but replace it
every 10 years or so. UHF cnnectors are Teflon Amphenol.
?
Teflon cable can be dangerous as the center
conductor cold flows in bends.

Usually
test lead wire is good for about 6KV. You can get ¡®igniter wire¡¯ from a
furnace place. We use it for igniting our pilots on our waste solvent
burners.? That stuff is usually
silicone and good for about 20KV.

What do folks use nowadays for high voltage wire
between a power supply and the amp? A check with car parts stores for spark
plug wire yields only today¡¯s weird stuff (used to suppress radio
interference?) that doesn¡¯t have copper. In one case, ?a ¡°high
performance¡± spark wire company boasts that their product has a resistance of
¡°only¡± 40-50 ohms per foot. Ridiculous. Thoughts?
