LMR400 has a copperclad aluminum center conductor.  LMR400 is often considered a modern replacement for older Belden 9913.  LMR400 is lighter in weight and easier to manufacture.  However, at most frequencies the Belden 9913 has a tiny advantage in slightly less loss compared to LMR400.  The LMR400 dielectric is basically foam which makes it more rugged than Belden 9913.  Belden 9913 has a solid copper center conductor.  The dielectric of Belden 9913 is a thin tube of polyethylene and a thin spiral of polyethylene holding the center conductor in place.  This makes it slightly less lossy than LMR400, however, the difference is not really significant.
