Wavenet RG6URWH2-DBC-500 RG-6 60% Dual Shield (BC) CMR 18AWG 3.0GHz Bare Copper 500ft Coaxial Cable

The Wavenet RG6URWH2-DBC-500 is a professional-grade RG-6/U dual siamese CMR coaxial cable featuring a solid 18 AWG bare copper (BC) center conductor. Designed for in-building riser installations and ETL-verified to 3.0 GHz, it delivers dependable CATV, broadband, and satellite signal performance across the full distribution frequency spectrum. The dual siamese format bonds two RG6 coaxial cables together on a single 500-foot white reel, simplifying parallel two-path installations in residential and commercial settings. RoHS compliant and built to meet SCTE IPS-SP-001, UL 1655, UL 13, and UL 444 standards, this cable is a reliable choice wherever CMR fire-rated performance is required.

Features and Applications

The solid bare copper center conductor provides strong signal conductivity suited to longer interior distribution runs. The 60% aluminum braid shield delivers effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection and signal containment across a broad frequency range. The PVC jacket provides the flame-retardant protection required under the CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) fire-safety classification, qualifying this cable for vertical installation in building risers and general interior environments.

Swept and ETL-verified to 3.0 GHz, the RG6URWH2-DBC-500 supports current CATV, broadband, and satellite distribution frequencies and is built to remain compatible with emerging high-frequency signal requirements. The dual siamese configuration bonds two RG6 coaxial cables together, reducing installation time when two parallel signal paths are needed in the same run.

Uses

The RG6URWH2-DBC-500 is well suited for residential and commercial CATV signal distribution, multi-room cable television wiring, broadband internet coaxial drops, and satellite signal runs within structures. Its CMR fire rating makes it appropriate for vertical riser runs between floors and through interior wall cavities where fire-safety compliance is required. The dual siamese design is particularly practical for MDU (multi-dwelling unit) buildings, structured wiring installations, and any project where two coaxial signal paths must be installed simultaneously along the same route.

Construction

Each cable in the siamese pair is built around a solid bare copper center conductor at 18 AWG (0.040" diameter). Bare copper construction provides reliable conductivity and long-term stability in interior installations. The conductor is insulated with a foam polyethylene dielectric at 0.0707" nominal wall thickness and 0.179" outer diameter, which reduces dielectric signal loss and supports the cable's 84% velocity of propagation. A 60% aluminum braid shield surrounds the dielectric, providing shielding against EMI ingress and signal leakage. The finished assembly carries a PVC jacket at 0.0275" nominal thickness, bringing the overall cable diameter to 0.27". PVC is selected for its flame-retardant properties, meeting CMR riser-rating requirements for in-building vertical installations. The 500-foot siamese reel weighs approximately 29 lbs.
