How do you determine the maximum power a coax cable can handle?  
For example RG-214 has a dielectric breakdown voltage of 2500 volts what
kind of power can it handle?  

I assume it is frequency dependant.  Can we even determine the power rating
if we only know the breakdown voltage?

My ultimate question, how much power can be pushed through RG-214 at 2.4
GHz?  (Attenuation is not a problem in this case.)
