[Elecraft] KPA500 Coax size requirements

Hello friends,

I am contemplating buying a KPA500 amplifier/tuner Combo, and driving it
from my Elecraft K2/100 rig. I hope I would be able to do that!

 From what I have read on eHam Reviews, it appears that I can run the
amp/tuner combo on 117v. from the convenient wall socket. Is that correct,
as well?

I cannot find any mention of the coax requirements, from the radio/combo
out to our 80-meter wire loop antenna. Right now, using only my K2/100 I am
able to use  8X coax.

Will I still be able to use that coax cable with up to 500 Watts output?

What other considerations do I need to make?

Thanks in advance,
