Wavenet RG11PWH2 RG-11 60% Dual Shield (CCS) CMP 14AWG 3.0GHz 1000ft Reel Coaxial Cable

The Wavenet RG11PWH2 is a professional-grade RG-11U Plenum (CMP) Broadband Coaxial Cable engineered for demanding signal distribution environments where fire code compliance and high-frequency performance are equally critical. Rated and UL-listed for plenum air-handling spaces, this 14AWG dual-shielded cable combines a Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) center conductor with a robust 60% aluminum braid shield and aluminum/poly tape foil layer, delivering reliable broadband transmission up to 3.0 GHz. Packaged on a convenient 1000-foot reel in a clean white jacket, the RG11PWH2 is a trusted choice for CATV, broadband distribution, and structured cabling installations.

Features and Applications

The RG11PWH2 is built around a dual-shielding architecture — an aluminum/poly tape foil layer paired with a 60% aluminum braid — that minimizes signal ingress and egress across a wide frequency spectrum. The FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) dielectric insulation supports a high velocity of propagation at 84%, reducing signal delay in longer cable runs. At 75 Ohms nominal impedance, the cable meets industry-standard CATV and broadband distribution requirements. Swept and tested to 3.0 GHz as indicated on the cable marking, the RG11PWH2 supports modern high-bandwidth services including DOCSIS 3.1 and full-spectrum cable TV signal delivery.

Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating means this cable meets the stringent smoke and flame propagation requirements of the National Electrical Code for installation in plenum ceiling spaces and air-handling ducts — environments where standard riser or CMR-rated cables are not permitted.

Uses

The RG11PWH2 is well-suited for the following applications:

• CATV signal distribution in commercial and multi-unit residential buildings
• Broadband trunk and feeder runs requiring low signal loss over longer distances
• Plenum ceiling and air-handling duct installations where CMP-rated cable is required by code
• Structured cabling infrastructure in schools, hospitals, hotels, and office buildings
• Headend-to-distribution runs for cable television and satellite signal systems

Construction

At the core of the RG11PWH2 is a 14 AWG Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductor measuring 0.0641 inches in diameter, providing the structural rigidity of steel with the conductivity benefits of a copper outer layer. Surrounding the conductor is an FEP dielectric with a diameter of 0.280 inches — a material known for its thermal stability and low signal loss characteristics. The dual-shield system consists of an aluminum/poly tape foil bonded layer followed by a 60% coverage aluminum braid, together providing effective protection against electromagnetic interference. The outer jacket is manufactured from Plenum PVC, specifically formulated to inhibit flame spread and limit smoke generation in the event of fire, as required for CMP-rated installations. The nominal cable diameter is 0.309 inches and the complete reel weighs 63 lbs.

Additional Information

The RG11PWH2 carries UL listing and complies with UL 1655, UL 13, UL 444, and ROHS directives. It also meets the SCTE IPS-SP-001 standard for broadband coaxial cables. The cable is manufactured by Wavenet, Incorporated and bears the cable marking: RG11 EXXXXXX14AWG PLENUM CMP FT6 RG11 60% AL BRAID C (UL) CATV 75C SWEPT TO 3.0 GHZ. The white jacket color offers easy identification in mixed-cable environments. Sold in 1000-foot reels.
