Wavenet RG6OSPBK2 RG-6 60% Dual Shield (CCS) CMR 18AWG 3.0GHz Outdoor Direct Burial 1000ft Reel Coaxial Cable

The Wavenet RG6OSPBK2 is a professional-grade RG-6/U outdoor coaxial cable engineered for direct burial and UV-exposed installations. Combining a solid 18 AWG copper-clad steel (CCS) center conductor with a 60% aluminum braid shield and a UV-stabilized polyethylene jacket, this cable delivers consistent signal performance across frequencies swept and certified to 3.0 GHz. ETL listed and RoHS compliant, it ships on a 1,000-foot reel and is purpose-built for CATV, broadband, and satellite distribution systems where long-term outdoor reliability is essential.

Product Specifications

Attenuation Performance

Features and Applications

This cable's 60% aluminum braid shield delivers reliable electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection and signal containment across a broad frequency range. The foam polyethylene dielectric reduces signal attenuation compared to solid alternatives, preserving signal integrity over extended runs. A UV-stabilized polyethylene jacket protects the cable from sun degradation in exposed aerial or open-trench applications — no conduit required for direct burial.

Swept and independently verified to 3.0 GHz, the RG6OSPBK2 supports existing CATV and broadband infrastructure while remaining compatible with emerging high-frequency distribution requirements. ETL listing confirms third-party verification of compliance with applicable UL standards, giving contractors and system integrators confidence in both performance and safety credentials.

Uses

The RG6OSPBK2 is well suited for:

• Residential and commercial CATV signal distribution
• Broadband internet coaxial drops and feeder lines
• Satellite dish and over-the-air antenna signal runs
• Underground direct burial runs between structures or to exterior equipment
• Multi-dwelling unit (MDU) cabling infrastructure
• Aerial and conduit installations requiring UV resistance

Its combination of outdoor-rated jacketing, direct burial approval, and 3.0 GHz swept performance makes it a dependable choice wherever cable transitions from interior environments to outdoor or underground paths.

Construction

At the core is a solid copper-clad steel (CCS) conductor at 18 AWG (0.040" diameter). CCS construction provides the tensile strength required for longer outdoor spans while maintaining adequate signal conductivity. Surrounding the conductor is a foam polyethylene (Foam PE) dielectric with a 0.070" wall and 0.180" outer diameter, which minimizes dielectric losses and supports the cable's 84% velocity of propagation.

An aluminum braid shield at 60% coverage (0.213" braid diameter) encases the dielectric, reducing EMI ingress and signal leakage. The full assembly is then jacketed in UV-stabilized polyethylene measuring 0.025" thick, bringing the overall cable diameter to 0.2716". The finished 1,000-foot reel weighs approximately 30 lbs.
