RG11 Cable with Weather Boot F Connectors - 400 ft Direct Burial

In this review the RG11 cable from PHAT SATELLITE is evaluated for outdoor and underground coaxial runs where long distance and moisture resistance matter most. The 400 ft spool with preinstalled nickel plated F connectors and a gel coated, tri-shield braid is aimed at installers, hobbyists and homeowners who need lower signal loss than RG-6 over long runs. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a solid 14AWG core and gel coated braids rated for direct burial, which together help maintain signal integrity in damp or buried installations.

Key Features

• Solid 14AWG RG11 core: Provides lower attenuation for long runs so signals reach distant devices with less loss than thinner coax types.
• Tri-shield construction: Two 100% foil shields plus a 77% braided layer reduce interference for more reliable TV, antenna, and modem signals.
• Gel coated braids: The flooded gel coating protects the braid from moisture and condensation, improving long-term underground performance.
• Preinstalled nickel plated F connectors: Weather boot and anti-corrosion plating let the cable be used outdoors immediately without separate connector assembly.
• Included accessories: Comes with a female splice barrel adapter and 10 nail clips so users can complete typical outdoor runs right away.
• UL ETL rated for direct burial: Certified construction appropriate for underground installation in many common conditions.

Who It's For

The cable is best for installers and homeowners running long coaxial lines for over-the-air antennas, satellite or HD digital TV, cellular boost antennas, and cable modem feeds where reduced signal loss is important. Its solid 14AWG center conductor and robust shielding make it suitable for long outdoor or underground runs that would degrade with RG-6.

Those who need very flexible indoor patch cables, short jumper leads, or who prefer to terminate connectors themselves for specialty fittings may want a different product. Also, if surface mounting without burial is the only goal and cost is the primary concern, a lighter RG-6 option could be more economical.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lower signal loss over long distances thanks to the solid 14AWG RG11 core.
• Strong moisture protection from gel coated braids and dual foil shields for underground use.
• Convenience of preinstalled nickel plated F connectors with weather boots and included splice adapter and clips.
• UL ETL rated construction gives confidence for direct burial installations.

Cons

• Heavier and less flexible than RG-6, which can make handling and indoor routing more cumbersome.
• Some customers report mixed satisfaction with the included nail clips, so additional mounting hardware may be preferred.

Our Verdict

The RG11 direct burial cable is a practical choice for anyone needing long, reliable coax runs with strong moisture protection and lower attenuation than RG-6. It delivers good value for outdoor and underground antenna, TV and modem feeds because of the solid 14AWG core, robust shielding and preinstalled weatherproof connectors, though buyers should expect a stiffer cable and may want alternate mounting clips for some installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be buried directly?
Yes, it is specified for direct burial with gel coated braids and carries UL ETL ratings for underground use.

Are connectors installed?
Yes, nickel plated F-connectors with weather boots are installed on each end and a female splice barrel is included for joining runs.

Is this better than RG-6 for long runs?
For long-distance runs the solid 14AWG RG11 has lower signal loss than RG-6 and better shielding, making it preferable for long outdoor or buried runs.
