What is the difference between M17/119-RG174 coax cable vs. RG174 coax cable?

M17/119-RG174 is the Mil-Spec equivalent to the commercial grade RG 174 cable. M17/119-RG174 Coax is used for high frequency signal transmission and features a jacket with non-comtaminating, PVC Type IIA per MIL-C-17 and uses a M17/196-00001 LS/LT jacket. The Mil-Spec equivalent is rated from -40°C to +85°C whereas commercial grade RG174 is only rated from -40°C to +80°C.
