But surely that would stop the whole connection permanently and not in small 5 minute disconnects
If it's coax that we are talking about, the conductor is a solid copper strand and is not intended to flex. It's quite likely that it is now broken inside the insulation.

It definately sounds a likely suspect and needs eliminating by replacing with a new cable.

You will probably need a VM engineer out to do it.
