It is not reccomended that RG-11 cable be used to carry voltage/current from a 60/90 VAC system. For a temporary, depending on the draw through it and the time used, you MAY have minimal or excessive problems...but you know the conditions it is to be used in.
The excessive voltage drop is another thing that one should be aware of besides the design specifications.
If you call any manufacturer of cable and speak with an engineering person (not a sales rep) they will tell you that RG-59, RG-6 & RG-11 cable was not made to carry voltage/current. If it does, it is a TIMEBOMB waiting to go off. Gets hot and melts to put it simply. Even at 50', it will be the "weakest link", depending on where in the power grid it is, it could smoke first.
Unfortunately the RG jumpers that go in systems as "temporary" usually stay there until an outage occurs or the system is rebuilt.
Good luck!
