Using untreated cables in plenum spaces can spread the fire to other areas very quickly and spread noxious smoke throughout the building.
Any cable that you run through plenum spaces must be plenum rated. If you are running cable outside, it has to have added protection from the weather and the elements. Outdoor cable has been specially designed to resist the elements.
The outdoor rated jacket makes this cable extremely resistant to cold weather, moisture, chemicals, abrasion, and cutting. When you bury a coaxial cable, moisture becomes even more of an obstacle. Without added moisture protection, you risk moisture and contaminants entering into the cable and corroding your shielding and conductor. Direct burial cable has the special PE jacket that outdoor coax has, along with a special gel-like substance in the jacket that blocks water and moisture corroding your conductor and damaging your signal.
Whether you are trying to set up a security system or even just your cable, Sewell has your back. We have experts who have worked as installers and technicians who have been in the industry ready for your questions. Whatever is most important to you, cost or function, you should find what is best for you. Check out some of our best selling RG59 and RG6 cables or contact us! What is the difference between RG59 and RG6? Summary RG6 cable is heavier gauge and has insulation and shielding tuned for high-bandwidth, high-frequency applications such as Internet, Cable TV, and Satellite TV signals.
First, What is RG? RG 6 In-Depth Satellite and internet signals run at higher frequencies than traditional analog video, and when TV broadcasts changed from analog to digital, and cable companies started switching to digital, the higher freuqencies made it necessary to find a more effective coaxial cable.
Shielding Shielding prevents 'noise' from interfering with your signal, and therefore preserves your signal quality. Signal Loss While shielding techniques keep external signal from affecting our signals, there is always some signal loss over the length of any cable.

Feb 26, 7, Central PA. RG-6 is a generic term, and is best interpreted as "sort of like". The "slash" number is a type designation, and that suffix came from the original, now obsolete, military "slash sheets". Last edited: Sep 19, Roadwarrior SatelliteGuys Pro. Jun 18, 0 Pacific NW.

Those two factors are what gives a better overall signal. In a lot of instances, you will start to have signal problems with We had a thread about this some time ago, and IIRC, it boiled down to "consumer grade" vs. One common compromise is the quality of components used vs. That shouldn't be any surprise to anyone given the highly competitive, low margin nature of the business these days. DBS installations are indeed "consumer grade" and cheaper materials are often used. Does that mean that they won't work?
No, or else they couldn't be used. A DBS installer will use cheaper cable where the reliability of the system or lack of it won't impact more than one customer, whereas a CATV system installer will likely opt for the more expensive materials where reliability of the system will impact a greater number of subscribers.
I think in many cases RG would work just as well as RG We tend to use the lower-loss cable since it's not much more expensive and readily available. That said, there are many "grades" of RG-6 for many different applications and the installer should choose wisely based on the intended service conditions and consequences of less-than-optimal system operation and reliability.
In the example you gave, if the RG would not work you would have known that right away. In general for shorter coax runs and expecially at lower frequencies RG should do just fine There is also A that is similar but made for direct burial.
That cable is swept to 4. Whether the center conductor is solid copper or copper-clad steel has little bearing on how well the cable passes RF due to "skin effect" and the steel type is actually stronger, but the solid copper will pass DC or 60Hz AC better to LNBs or preamps that need power.
The foam used in the dielectric sets the performance as well as the diameter, and the better foams cost more. If I understand the design challenges properly, ideally you would want almost pure air as the dielectric. The high performance foams are closed-cell types with a high air ratio. I'm sure some of the RG does have a smaller center conductor.
The ohm that I see in alot of houses around here that was wired in during construction, has the same size center conductor as the RG-6 that I use. If it is smaller, then it's by a mere fraction. Now, I have heard that there is signal loss if you use RG Is this something that happens over time? Doing it as we speak. Just ran a bunch of RG6 and the Crips worked fine. I am having the same problem. That connector will never go on it.
That would explain it. I guess everytime we get a democrat in the WH the country suffers, and now we more business go under and we have to depend more on China. Name required. Email required.
