Hello Kim
Personally I would have a word with Peter at www.rfshop.co.uk.
He stocks the HRG58-20-2 cable made by the German company Hivolt.de, which is rated to 20kV.
He will also advise on suitable connectors to go with it and can also provide ready made cable assemblies.
I always like to have plenty of headroom when dealing with 5kV or over.

Subject: [ham-amplifiers] Need advice on HV connectors
HI all,
Thanks for reading the mail. I have acquired a home brew amp
and power supply that is missing its HV cable. I'd like to change both
of them to one style since they are both different. Jack Schutt K9GT
originally built this. I'd thought about using SO-239/PL-259's that are Teflon with RG-8 inner conductor cable as the HV wire and packing
the PL-259's with RTV-108 and sleeving the wire with GOOD Belden
heavy shrink tube with sealant. Does that sound like it would hold
5 KV since that's what Jack built the power supply too? Thanks
for the input and reading the mail.
