I was just about to suggest this.. :)

It's NOT very flexible, but you can't beat the shielding.

I use FSJ1-50 on several VHF and UHF repeaters for internal cabling.
Standard PL-259 connectors will fit, if you use the RG-59 reducer.
Prep the cable by peeling the covering so that the reducer covers the bare
area, and pre-tin the shield, then slip the shield into the reducer and add
some solder as needed, then screw into the body, solder the reducer to the
body, and solder the center pin, and call it a day.

Use silver-teflon connectors though, they handle the heat.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a kludge, but it turns out the
andrew PL-259 connector is practically the same thing.   I've also been able
to use N connectors designed to crimp on to LMR-400 this way, by adding a
piece of brass tubing as a filler.

Andrew does make N, PL-259, and BNC connectors for FSJ1-50, but they are
pricey.

RG-400 is nice for braided shield, and 9913F7 works well in the
half-inch-ish size, surprisingly flexible, though I don't trust that the
foil will hold up forever with constant bending.

RG-58 is ok for audio, but even the premium brands are pretty lossy at
higher frequencies.
That may or may not be an issue.
