Greg,

If it's UT 0.141 (RG402), it's 69.5%.

Check:
http://www.dscc.dla.mil/Programs/MilSpec/ListDocs.asp?BasicDoc=MIL-C-17

Mil specs on this stuff. Scroll down to sheet 130.

There are other variants like conformable. Belden has it (1673A) along with 
others. They may have different VF's. For a representative example check:
