RG6U Coaxial cable
RG6/U coaxial is used to route cable television signals to and within homes, and RG6/U cables have become the standard for CATV cable television and other RF applications like antennas and satellite installations. RG6/U type cables have lower attenuation characteristics than RG59 cable and therefore are suitable for transmission applications of about 1000 to 1500 feet. This quality cable is designed to an 18 AWG copper clad steel center, 100% aluminum foil, and greater than 60% aluminum braid.
