RG6 Quad Shield Coax 1000ft White - Riser Rated Cable

In this review of the RG6 Quad Shield Coax 1000ft cable, the bottom line is straightforward: this spool is aimed at installers and serious DIYers who need long runs of dependable, riser rated cable with solid signal integrity. The reviewer found the 1000 ft pre-spooled reel and bare copper 18 AWG conductor to be the single biggest reasons to choose this cable, since solid copper improves satellite and digital signal performance and the hassle-free reel saves time on jobs with long continuous runs.

Key Features

• Premium RG6/U 75 OHM Coax: Supports CATV, Digital HDTV and satellite connections with a standard 75 ohm impedance for consistent video and data delivery.
• Quad Shield Construction: Dual layer 100% aluminum bonded foil plus 60% + 40% aluminum braid reduces EMI and RFI in electrically noisy environments.
• 18 AWG Bare Copper Conductor: Solid bare copper provides better low-voltage and satellite LNB performance than copper clad steel options.
• Hassle Free Packaging: The 1000 ft length is pre-spooled on an easy-pull reel so long runs are faster to deploy and remain tangle free.
• Riser Rated Jacket: PVC jacket rated CMR/CATVR/CL2 allows safe use in vertical runs between floors and in-wall non-plenum spaces.
• Tested to 3GHz: Sweep tested up to 3GHz and ANSI/TIA compliance give confidence for high-frequency applications.

Who It's For

This cable is ideal for professional installers, integrators, and advanced DIYers running long coaxial runs for cable television, satellite dishes, cable modems, routers, or antenna systems where signal shielding and conductor quality matter. The 1000 ft spool suits multi-room installs, whole-house wiring or large commercial runs where a single continuous length is required.

It is less suitable for casual buyers who only need short patch leads or pre-terminated coax connectors; those users will find smaller, pre-terminated lengths or specialized patch cables more convenient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Pre-spooled 1000 ft reel saves time and reduces tangles on the job.
• Solid 18 AWG bare copper conductor improves satellite and data signal reliability.
• Quad shielding with foil and heavy braid offers strong EMI/RFI protection in challenging environments.
• Riser rated PVC jacket allows safe in-wall vertical runs between floors.

Cons

• The full 1000 ft spool is bulky and may be overkill for small projects where shorter pre-cut lengths would be easier to store.
• Requires termination with appropriate connectors and crimping tools for installation, which adds steps for less experienced users.

Specifications

Our Verdict

For anyone wiring multiple rooms or performing large installs, this RG6 quad shield coax offers real value: the solid bare copper conductor, robust shielding and pre-spooled 1000 ft reel reduce installation headaches and support reliable signal performance. It is a smart buy for professionals and serious DIYers who need long, riser rated cable runs and prefer to terminate connectors themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable safe for in-wall vertical runs?
Yes. The PVC jacket is riser rated to CMR/CATVR/CL2 standards for non-plenum vertical runs between floors.

Can this cable be used for satellite LNB power?
Yes. The 18 AWG solid bare copper conductor is suitable for satellite installations that require voltage to the LNB.

Does the cable come on a reel to prevent tangling?
Yes. The 1000 ft length is pre-spooled on an easy pull reel designed to be tangle free for faster deployment.
