Wavenet H16E16QMBL2-500 | 1 CAT6 CMR UTP 23AWG + 1 RG-6 QUAD Shield 18AWG CMR 3.0GHz (Overall CM) 500ft Reel Combination Cable

The Wavenet H16E16QMBL2-500 is a dual-cable combination reel that bundles a CAT6E 600MHz UTP cable and an RG-6 Quad Shield Coaxial Cable into a single 500-foot package. Designed for structured wiring installations that require both data networking and video distribution in one pull, this combination simplifies labor, reduces installation time, and minimizes conduit usage. ETL Listed and CMR-rated for in-wall and plenum-adjacent runs, it meets the performance and safety demands of residential and commercial installations alike.

Features and Applications

The CAT6E component is engineered for 600MHz performance, exceeding standard CAT6 specifications to support higher bandwidth environments and future-proofing structured cabling deployments. Its 23AWG bare solid copper conductors and HDPE insulation maintain signal integrity across the full frequency range, while the flame-retardant PVC jacket satisfies common in-wall safety requirements.

The RG-6 Quad Shield coaxial cable features a true dual-foil, dual-braid quad-shield construction that dramatically reduces interference ingress and egress. Swept to 3.0GHz at the factory, it is verified ready for satellite, cable TV, and broadband distribution applications requiring reliable high-frequency performance. The 75-ohm impedance matches industry-standard video and RF components, while the CMR/CL2-rated jacket qualifies it for installation within building risers.

Combining both cables on a single 500ft reel streamlines the rough-in process for AV and data installers, reducing job site complexity with one SKU, one pull, and one box.

Uses

This combination cable is well suited for:

• Home and Commercial A/V Distribution: Running data and video drops simultaneously to wall plates, entertainment centers, or conference rooms
• New Construction Wiring: Pulling both network and coaxial infrastructure in a single pass through walls, conduit, or cable trays
• MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) Installations: Servicing apartment, condo, or hotel units where space in riser pathways is limited
• Satellite and Cable TV + LAN Deployments: Delivering broadband internet (via CAT6E) and satellite or cable signals (via RG-6) to the same room or drop location
• Structured Wiring Panels: Terminating to combination wall plates or structured media center panels in residential installations

Construction

The CAT6E cable is built around four twisted pairs of 23AWG bare solid copper conductors, each insulated with HDPE for low-loss signal transmission. Pairs are color-coded with white insulation and a contrasting stripe (blue, green, brown, orange) for straightforward identification during termination. The assembly is enclosed in a flame-retardant PVC jacket measuring 6.5mm in nominal outer diameter.

The RG-6 coaxial cable begins with a 1.02mm copper-covered steel center conductor surrounded by 4.57mm foam polyethylene dielectric for controlled impedance. Two independent shielding layers — each consisting of a bonded aluminum foil and an aluminum-magnesium braid — provide the "quad shield" designation. The outer jacket is 7.34mm PVC rated CMR/CL2, finished with a 4000VAC spark test at the factory to verify dielectric integrity.

Both cables are packaged together on a 500ft reel in a blue jacket, allowing easy identification and consistent feeding during installation.

Additional Information

Approvals and Certifications

The H16E16QMBL2-500 is ETL Listed (c(ETL)US), confirming third-party verification of compliance with applicable North American safety and performance standards.

Cable Marking

The cable is marked: CMR CAT6E 600 MHZ 4PR 23 AWG AND RG6 QUAD TYPE CMR FT4 18 AWG C(ETL)US XXXXXXX SWEPT TO 3.0 GHZ RM A B C D E F 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ****FT

The swept-to-3.0GHz marking on the coaxial portion confirms factory RF sweep testing, a quality assurance step that validates the cable's performance through its rated frequency range prior to shipment.
