I do it the way you want to. I have a section of RG6 coax running from my existing porch light along the wall and down the awning arm, terminated by a barrel connector. When I unfold the awning I use a short piece of RG6 to complete the circuit. The jumper has an RG6 connector on one end. The center wire makes up the pos. circuit and I use the braided shield to make the neg. side. Done this for a couple of years with no problems.
One note: The first string of lights I bought was sticky back, weather resistant. They didn't last. I replaced them with a set of encapsulated lights that were considered weather proof but had no sticky back. I attached them with clear silicone. I have not lost a single light and the silicone worked great for about 6 months, so far.
