What's it for? Audio, satellite, FM antenna?
You might be better off laying some suitable flexible pipe
and then putting whatever cable is electrically most appropriate
inside. A reel of water pipe from your nearest building site would do.

Belden aren't really in this game. This is serious coax from a
manufacturer that really understands cables.

Even if you use this, Eiron's suggestion of running some hose pipe
under the ground and threading this through is a good one. You will
need to order the connectors with it, by the way - they are
custome-designed to fit.

How about http://www.farnell.co.uk

CX165DB Satellite Cable
Direct Burial
75 coaxial cable designed for TV and satellite applications where a
longer run and direct burial of the cable is required
Constructed with a 1.63mm solid copper conductor, foam filled
dielectric, 64/0.12mm copper braid and foil with a high density
polythene sheath
Designed and manufactured to minimise signal losses and to provide
excellent RLR characteristics up to 2150MHz

May well suit, but much poorer attenuation than the Heliax. For 100
metres of cable at 1GHz, this one loses 13.5dB, while the Heliax loses
3dB.

Its good alright!, just replaced some LDF4-50 and 5-50 after the Pikey's
tried to nick it..barstewards) Bloody expensive you can see why their
after it!..

What I think you need is a stuff called CT167 this IIRC was designed for
direct burial for TV distribution systems and the like..
