Patch cable question

[DanM64]

I am doing some rearranging of my home theater, and I am going to need to purchase a coax patch cable for my HWS. I know MoCA needs RG6. I am one who doesn't mind paying a bit more for quality, but at the same time I don't like to waste money on stuff like Monster Cable, either.

Does anyone have any recommendations on certain cables, or will any 3Ghz RG6 do?

Any.

You'll need a high frequency barrel connector too. The insert should be blue colored and don't forget to use good compression fittings.

Sounds good, thanks guys! I did pick up the blue F connector barrels aready so I'm set there. I'll pick up some cable this weekend. Much appreciated! I'll post some pics when I get the new plates installed and get everything cleaned up.

Belden 7915A is my favorite RG-6 Cable. Tri Foil, 3 gig. No special connectors required. About 95$ for 500 feet.

Well Yes and No.

You need a good 3Ghz from Dish to Hopper. The Joeys can be run on RG 59.

Yes, I'm using 30 year old RG59 for MOCA. Works fine.

Home depot had some GE branded cable on clearance. It was 3ghz, 100 ft, compression f-connectors, quad shielded for $10. Works perfect.
Used the for the node to hopper. Using in house wiring -Belden Copper Core quads for the Joeys > overkill, but its already there. The Belden is rated 2.3 but it did work for the Hopper before I ran the new line as I suspect it can handle 3.0
