Saw that one myself but says it only ships to Canada

I would only warn against white color jacket. Usually white coax will UV degrade much faster than black.

Thanks B!

Is there any issue with sweep test frequency on this cable? Seems like that was a consideration when I inquired about cable in the past.

 

[Kraven]

Good questions... am not an RG6 expert by no means so I'd like to know this as well. A 500ft spool of RG6 in these parts goes for about 90$ so online is my best bet

Since they don't list a sweep test spec, I suspect they're not 'proud' of the spec.
(I live 5 miles from Genesis Cable so coax is not a problem! LOL)

dang here at Lowes/Home Depot a 500 foot spool is like $55. I didnt click on the link so dont know what price they show

Lucky lowes is cheap here $35 for 500ft

maybe I was thinking of RG6 quad...its been a couple years since I bought 500 foot rolls of coax

I've never bought quad. I personally don't care for the copper clad steel center conductor. I have seen the steel rust completely off with time.

Perhaps but I've seen that before different prices in different areas.

I think you are right. I spent about that much at one of the box stores for quad a few months ago.

Yep i would agree.

Thats not right man!

That cheap coax is probably 'broadband' coax. Broadband coax is for computer networks and is usually designed for use up to about 1GHz. The 'good coax' (single or quad shield) is swept tested to 3 GHz and costs more.

Don't buy satellite coax based on price alone!

 

[Kraven]

Last roll I bought was 500ft Quad/3ghz.. paid 80$ which I think is a bit on the high end.

Copper clad steel is much less expensive than solid copper core. Personally, I never use copper clad steel due to the increased chance of corrosion and the lower voltage/current, control signal passing on long runs. If shorter runs with well protected connections, it shouldn't matter too much.
