SatelliteSale RG-6/U 75Ohm Coaxial Cable

This 3 ft white coaxial cable uses F-Type male connectors on both ends to carry RF signals for off-air antennas, cable TV and satellite services. The 18 AWG copper conductor and triple shielding support bi-directional data transmission up to 3 GHz and 1 Gbps internet applications. It is built for indoor or outdoor use with a durable PVC jacket.

Practical limits of the RG-6/U standard

The cable handles 1080i video at 60 Hz and compressed 5.31 surround sound formats including Dolby Digital and DTS. Triple shielding with aluminium foil and steel braid reduces loss at high frequencies, but the fixed 3 ft length restricts placement to short runs between wall outlets and nearby devices. Longer distances would require a different cable length.

Installing the F-Type Male-to-Male cable

Thread each connector onto the corresponding F-Type port by hand until snug; over-tightening with tools can strip the threads or crush the dielectric insulator. The round PVC jacket resists kinking, yet sharp bends near the connector boots may still damage the internal shields. Buyers who need longer runs or right-angle connectors will need a different cable.
