Combination Cable - High-Grade Composite Cable
A combination cable runs two or more cable types inside one jacket, so you pull one line instead of several. At Discounted Cables, our combo cable stock pairs a Cat6 data cable with RG-6 quad-shield coax or 16AWG audio cable on a single 500ft reel, giving you data, video, and audio in one pass through the wall or conduit. Every reel ships tax-free anywhere in the USA, with wholesale pricing that applies whether you order one reel or fifty.
What Is a Combination Cable
A combo cable (also called a composite or Siamese cable) bundles independent cable runs, typically Ethernet, coax, and sometimes audio conductors, under one outer jacket. Instead of fishing a Cat6 line and an RG-6 line through the same stud bay separately, you pull one combination cable and land both ends where you need them. This is standard practice for structured wiring in homes, offices, and multi-dwelling units where data and video, or data and speaker feed, terminate at the same wall plate.
Advantages of Our Combination Cables
-
One pull instead of two or three: your crew fishes a single cable through the wall or conduit instead of running each line separately, which cuts labor time on every drop.
-
Less space in the wall or conduit: a bundled combo cable takes up less room than multiple loose cables run side by side, which matters in tight stud bays and full conduit runs
-
Lower material cost per drop: a bundled reel costs less than buying Cat6 and RG-6 on separate reels for the same job
-
Fewer points of failure: one jacket to staple and terminate means fewer places for a cable to get pinched, kinked, or damaged during rough-in
-
Full-strength components: each conductor inside the bundle, whether it's the Cat6, the RG-6, or the audio line, is built to its own standard rather than a scaled-down version to fit inside a combo jacket.
-
Riser-rated: every reel in this collection carries a CMR rating, so it's approved for in-wall and vertical riser installation.

Buying a combination cable online in bulk means you keep one part number in stock for a wall plate that needs both a data jack and a coax or speaker connection, instead of tracking two or three separate cables for the same job.
Tips for Choosing the Right Combination Cable
-
Match the cable to what the wall plate needs: if the outlet needs Ethernet and a TV or satellite feed, go with a Cat6 + RG-6 combo; if it needs Ethernet and a speaker, go with a Cat6 + audio combo.
-
Count your ports, not just your cables: a dual-run combo (2x Cat6 + 2x RG-6) saves a second pull on outlets that need more than one coax or data connection.
-
Check for a riser (CMR) rating before running it in-wall: all combo cable on this page is CMR-rated, but always confirm what your local code requires for the space you're wiring.
-
Buy the bulk combination cable reel size that matches your job, not the outlet count. A 500ft reel covers most single-family and light-commercial jobs without a second reel mid-project
-
Confirm certification before ordering inspected work: ETL Listed and RoHS-compliant documentation is available on request, which most inspectors require for new construction or renovation jobs.
Where This Combo Cable Gets Used
As a combination cable supplier serving contractors and property managers, we see this cable specified most often for:
-
New home and MDU construction, where a wall plate needs both an Ethernet jack and a coax outlet
-
Hotel and hospitality rewiring, where guest rooms need network and TV service from a single pull
-
Home theater and whole-house AV, where a Cat6 run and a speaker or coax run terminate at the same rack
-
Security camera and access-control installations, where data and video ru,n share a pathway to a head-end closet
Ordering and Tax-Free Delivery
Placing a high-grade composite cable bulk order works the same as any other order on our site: pick your configuration and quantity, add it to your cart, and check out.
-
We ship to all states in the USA tax-free, so bulk orders save you the sales tax a local supplier would add at checkout.
-
Wholesale pricing applies at any order size; a single reel and a pallet of reels get the same rate structure.
-
Contractors ordering large volumes can request a custom quote through our Get Quotation form for project-based pricing.
Why Order Bulk Combination Cable from Discounted Cables
We stock this integrated cable solution as a dedicated commercial combination cable line, not a side product, which means consistent reel counts, current ETL documentation, and stock you can reorder against for repeat jobs.
If your job calls for standalone runs instead, browse our Ethernet Cable catalog, pick up connectors and panels from Ethernet Cable Accessories, or check our USA-made cable line for domestic-manufactured Cat6 and Cat6A.
FAQs
What is a combination cable used for?
It carries two or more signal types, usually network data and video or network data and audio, through a single jacket. Hence, an installer runs one cable instead of pulling each line separately.
Is combo cable the same as Siamese cable?
Yes. "Combination cable," "combo cable," and "Siamese cable" all describe the same construction: multiple independent cables bonded under one outer jacket.
Can I run a Cat6/RG-6 combination cable in walls?
Yes, if it carries a CMR rating like the reels in this collection. CMR jackets are approved for riser and vertical in-wall runs. Always confirm local code before installation.
Does a bulk combination cable cost less than buying cables separately?
In most cases, yes. Buying a bundled reel costs less per drop than buying Cat6 and RG-6 on separate reels, and it saves labor time since one pull does the job of two.
What lengths do combination cable reels come in?
Our combination cable bulk reels run 500ft, which covers most residential and light-commercial jobs without needing a second reel mid-project.
Can I get certification documents for a bulk combination cable order?
Yes. ETL and RoHS documentation are available on request for bulk orders, which most inspectors and property managers require for new construction or renovation jobs.
