Need Dual RG6 solid Copper

[ontarget]

Does anyone have any idea's for the best place to order cable?

Dual strand solid copper RG6

The guys I was ordering from are no longer going to carry cable trying to find a some place that will still let me keep some profit margin

Over the years I've bought a lot of cable (but no RG6) and supplies from Markertek.

I've always been happy with their service.

Unfortunately, a quick look at their website only shows dual RG6 with copper/steel core.

Maybe they offer solid copper dual RG6 by phone?

It's ok for ROTV, but I don't like dual coax for two-way satellite internet connections because of the potential for inter-modulation distortion. Dual quad-shield reduces the risk of IM, but the downside is it's comparatively more expensive.

But what I wanted to point out is that Hughes and Wildblue - as do others I'm sure - issue Approved Cable lists to installers. Rather than simply shopping for the cheapest BC cable, you should be shopping for the best buy from those "approved" cables.

FWIW, I too buy from Markertek. I highly recommend Belden 1829BC (3GHz BC flooded). Even at 11 cents a foot, it saves money indirectly by avoiding the need for conduit. In many cases it can also be direct-buried shallower than otherwise specified by local code (the frost line thing).
