Could this be Belben 9396 ?
Is belben still being manufactured? Not finding it.

Not identical brand, but I’ve ordered this for guitars and amps before and had good luck with it.

The 4 conductor stuff is good for master volume mods

Don't know. But what application do you want it for? We could suggest alternatives if you're open to it. Apex Jr. sells all sorts. And you can always order whatever you want from Mouser.

This looks interesting, but 28 awg is kind of small isn't it.

Using it for shieded runs in the Preamp of my High gain mods.

Try RG-188 A/U and you'll probably want a Paladin coax stripper to make it easy. Apex Jr. sells it by the foot for 60 cents.
PTFE so it won't melt and short. Silver conductor.

How flexible is it ? Is it real stiff ? The gray stuff I was using was nice and flexible.

It's not as flexible as PVC. But I use it in all my builds with great results. So does Soldano, Fortin, and a bunch of others. You can get other options from Mouser and Apex Jr. though, if you want non-Teflon.

What size AWG are you using ? thanks

I'm not sure what gauge RG188's conductor is. It's pretty thin compared to normal hookup wire. But it gets the job done. You can always go with a different coax code if you want a thicker conductor. There's probably a chart somewhere

If you only need a little bit of RG188 you can get some off eBay for pretty cheap. It has gone up
a bit since last time I bought it (I think I paid $11 for 10’ last year at some point) but I have purchased from this dude before with no problem:

Sure, but they have a lot of great stuff. Apex Jr. is the online parts store for Apex in LA. If you ever get a chance to go there, I would. They literally have everything. Super rare NOS parts, modern stuff, chassis, tubes, wire, etc. But they don't put a lot of that stuff online. Other than Mouser for modern parts, Apex is the best place to get components.

I ended up ordering some of this. So cheap I ordered 20 and 22 AWG just to what I like more. I haven’t used it yet but I looks really nice.
