RG6 Quad Shield Coax 1000ft Black - Riser Rated Cable

In this review the trueCABLE RG6 Quad Shield Coax 1000ft proves itself as a practical choice for installers and DIYers who need a long run of reliable coaxial cable. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a solid 18 AWG bare copper conductor and quad shielding, which together deliver stable signal transmission and better immunity to EMI/RFI for cable, satellite, and HDTV installs. The 1000 ft pre-spooled reel also removes a common pain point in long projects by keeping the cable organized and easy to pull.

Key Features

• Premium RG6/U 75 OHM Coax: Supports CATV, Digital HDTV, satellite, cable box, router and antenna uses with a standard impedance for broad compatibility.
• Quad Shielding: Dual layer 100% aluminum bonded foil plus 60%+40% AL wire braiding provides enhanced EMI/RFI protection in areas with electrical interference.
• 18 AWG Bare Copper Conductor: Solid bare copper conductor ensures reliable data transmission and is the preferred choice for satellite LNB power delivery.
• Hassle Free Packaging: The 1000 ft length comes pre-spooled on an easy-pull reel to reduce tangles and speed up long runs on jobsites.
• Riser Rated Jacket: PVC jacket rated CMR/CATVR/CL2 allows indoor vertical runs between floors and in-wall installation in non-plenum spaces.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at professional and advanced DIY installers who need long runs for multi-room entertainment systems, satellite installs, or backbone runs between floors where riser-rated cable is required. The solid bare copper conductor and quad shield make it suitable for environments where signal integrity matters.

It is not intended for outdoor burial or plenum ceiling spaces; users needing direct-burial or plenum-rated (CMP) cable should look for those specific ratings. Casual users who only need short patch leads may prefer pre-terminated cables instead of a 1000 ft reel.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality materials with a solid bare copper conductor favored for satellite and sensitive RF links.
• Quad shielding and combined foil plus braid construction reduce interference in congested electrical areas.
• Large 1000 ft pre-spooled reel is convenient for long runs and reduces handling time on jobsites.
• Riser rated PVC jacket meets CMR/CATVR/CL2 requirements for in-wall vertical installations.

Cons

• Not suitable for outdoor burial or plenum spaces, so separate cable types are needed for those applications.
• Bulk spooled cable requires termination tools and skill; not plug-and-play for users wanting ready-made patch leads.
