RG6 is the recommended coaxial cable for distributing signals from cable TV, satellite dish or from a roof-top antenna. The RG6 cable construction provides better sheilding than the older RG59 coax cable. RG6 cables that we carry are triple or Quad Shielded. Available in 500 and 1000 foot lengths, Belden RG6 cables also have additional Duobond Plus/Duofoil features that make them the industry leaders.
For video distribution in homes, offices and restaurants we recommend the Belden 7915A and 7916A coaxial cables. Sweep tested to 3.0 GHz, these cables have the UL fire rating and are designed for DBS(DirectTV/Dish etc.), Broadband CATV(digital cable), Cable Modem and HDTV.
For broadcast studio quality DBS/CATV/HDTV distribution in your home/office, we recommend the 4.5 GHz copper braided Belden 1694A. With a 95% Copper braid, double sided, overlapped foil, the shield effectiveness of 1694A exceeds that of quad-shield cable.
RG6 Cable Application
Sweep Test Range
RG6 Cable for Cable TV
1 GHz (1000MHz)
High End Low Loss RG6 Cable for DBS/Satellite Dish/HDTV
3.0 GHz (3000MHz)
Broadcast Quality low-loss RG6 Cable for HDTV, home theater and broadcast studios
4.5 GHz (4500MHz)
If you need to use a RG6 cable for multiple applications the cable needs to be sweep tested for the entire range of frequencies.

Coaxial cable is called "coaxial" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The two channels are seperated by a layer of insulation and there is additional insulation around the outer concentric physical layer
What is Quad Shield Cable?
Most commonly found in broadband (CATV) cable, quad shields are multiple layers of foil/braid/foil/braid. This construction gives excellent shield protection and also allows the use of water blocking gels and other methods to weather-proof cables.
