Yes there are different types off RG400 sold.
I have come across the good and the bad types.
The difference in my case was the inner wire was solid.
It is not suitable for use in aircraft.
This should be stranded wire.
They look the same so it is easy to make a mistake.
Good Luck

If the Amazon stuff states that it is MIL-DTL-17 (or MIL-C-17) spec RG400, then it is aircraft grade coax cable. It'll have something like M17/128 RG-400 printed on the outer insulation.
Bull. A lot of the stuff sold by Amazon is counterfeit from China. Just because it is marked appropriately does not mean its the real deal. Just ask anybody who works for U.S. Customs. Pay a little more and buy your stuff from a reputable dealer.
I really wouldn't generalize like that.
- I have never seen a counterfeit item sold by Amazon itself (they list the sold by on the right side of the screen and only when it says sold by Amazon Amazon is the actual seller). If you have an example please point me to it. Amazon is way to big of a litigation target to risk anything in that space.
- If you pick an item on Amazon which is sold by a 3rd party seller and Amazon only provides the store front and logistics looking at the reviews and a bit more at the details of the seller is critical. There are stores on their which are as reputable as any of the once you mentioned if not more. E.g. I clean my RV with AeroCosmetic products and the manufacturer has a store front on Amazon but also resell through Aircraft Spruce. Why wouldn't I buy that on Amazon with quicker/cheaper (free one day) shipping? There are also stores on their I wouldn't buy anything from.
So I am not sure how you come up with the generalization above.
