Wavenet RG11QRBK2 RG-11 60% Quad Shield (CCS) CMR 14AWG 3.0GHz 1000ft Reel Coaxial Cable

The Wavenet RG11QRBK2 is a professional-grade RG-11U Quad Shield Riser (CMR) Broadband Coaxial Cable designed for high-performance signal distribution in commercial and residential vertical riser installations. Featuring a Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) center conductor, foam polyethylene dielectric, and a quad-shield construction with aluminum foil and 60% aluminum braid layers, this cable is purpose-built to deliver low signal loss and strong interference rejection across a wide frequency range up to 3.0 GHz. ETL Listed and compliant with SCTE, UL 444, and ROHS standards, the RG11QRBK2 ships on a 1000-foot reel in a black PVC jacket — a reliable choice for installers who need a proven CMR-rated coaxial solution.

Features and Applications

The quad-shield architecture of the RG11QRBK2 — combining aluminum foil and aluminum braid layers — provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and signal ingress compared to standard dual-shield designs. The foam polyethylene dielectric supports a velocity of propagation of 82%, helping minimize signal delay across longer cable runs. At a stable 75 Ohm impedance, this cable is fully compatible with standard CATV and broadband distribution equipment. Swept and verified to 3.0 GHz per its ETL listing and cable marking, the RG11QRBK2 is well-suited to support modern wideband and full-spectrum cable services.

The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors in multi-story buildings, where fire code requires cables with controlled flame propagation characteristics. The black PVC jacket offers additional identification flexibility in mixed-cable environments.

Uses

The RG11QRBK2 is appropriate for the following installations and environments:

• Vertical riser runs between floors in multi-story commercial and residential buildings
• CATV trunk and distribution cabling in MDUs, apartment complexes, and hotels
• Broadband signal distribution requiring high shielding effectiveness and low signal loss
• In-building CATV infrastructure for hospitality, healthcare, education, and office facilities
• Long-distance coaxial backbone runs where RG-11's larger gauge provides lower attenuation than RG-6 alternatives

Construction

The RG11QRBK2 is built around a 14 AWG Copper-Clad Steel center conductor with a diameter of 0.06377 inches, combining the tensile strength of steel with the surface conductivity of copper — an advantage for longer spans. The foam polyethylene dielectric insulation provides efficient signal transmission with a nominal thickness of 2.75 inches and a diameter of 7.11 +/- 0.15 inches. The quad-shield system incorporates aluminum foil and aluminum braid layers, with the braid providing 60% coverage, together offering strong shielding performance across the cable's operating frequency range. The outer jacket is PVC with a nominal thickness of 0.65 inches, rated for CMR riser applications. Total cable diameter is 10.34 inches and the full 1000-foot reel weighs 64 lbs.

As depicted in the cable cross-section diagram, the construction layers from center outward are: center conductor, insulation, foil, braiding, and jacket — a classic quad-shield coaxial arrangement optimized for interference rejection and mechanical durability.

Additional Information
