Wavenet RG6URXX2 RG-6 60% Dual Shield (CCS) CMR 18AWG 3.0GHz 1000ft Reel Coaxial Cable

Wavenet RG6URXX2 — RG-6/U 60% Dual Shield CMR Coaxial Cable, 18AWG, 3.0GHz, 1000ft Reel

The Wavenet RG6URXX2 delivers the same proven RG-6/U performance as the pull box variant — but packaged on a 1,000-foot reel designed for professional installers who need controlled, high-volume cable deployment on active job sites. Riser-rated (CMR) and swept to 3.0GHz, this cable is built for structured CATV, satellite, and broadband wiring in residential, multi-unit, and commercial environments where reliability over long runs is non-negotiable.

Conductor & Dielectric

The cable is built around an 18AWG solid Copper Clad Steel (CCS) conductor with a diameter of 0.040 inches — providing the tensile strength needed for longer pull lengths while maintaining the conductivity required for broadband signal transmission. The conductor is insulated with Foam Polyethylene (Foam PE) at a nominal thickness of 0.073 inches and an insulation diameter of 0.186 inches. This dielectric geometry supports a velocity of propagation of 84%, keeping signal timing consistent across extended cable runs.

60% Aluminum Braid Dual Shield

Surrounding the dielectric is a 60% aluminum braid shield with a braid diameter of 0.213 inches. This dual-shield construction reduces signal ingress and egress, making the RG6URXX2 well-suited for installations in environments with elevated RF interference — including equipment rooms, riser shafts, and wall runs in densely wired MDU buildings.

Jacket & Overall Build

The PVC outer jacket has a nominal thickness of 0.2716 inches, giving the cable an overall diameter of 0.295 inches — compatible with standard RG-6 compression connectors, wall plates, and pass-through fittings. The reel packaging format allows for smooth, tangle-free payout when running cable through conduit, between floors, or across large floor plates where a pull box would be less practical.

Electrical Specifications

Attenuation Performance (dB/100m)

The RG6URXX2 maintains low signal loss across its full operating range — from 2.66 dB/100m at 5MHz through 37.88 dB/100m at 3000MHz. Representative attenuation values include 16.70 dB/100m at 550MHz, 22.97 dB/100m at 1000MHz, and 32.83 dB/100m at 2400MHz, supporting CATV, digital broadcast, and satellite IF distribution across the entire swept frequency range.

Certifications & Applicable Standards

Cable is marked: RG6/U 18AWG CMR FT4 VERIFIED TO C(ETL)US CATV SWEPT TO 3.0GHz Referenced and applicable standards include:

• SCTE IPS-SP-001
• UL 1655 (Riser/CMR Rating)
• UL 13
• UL 444
• RoHS Compliant

The CMR riser rating means this cable is approved for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings, meeting fire propagation resistance requirements without stepping up to plenum-rated cable.

Packaging & Available Variants

The RG6URXX2 ships on a 1,000-foot reel and is available in black (RG6URBK2) and white (RG6URWH2) jacket colors. For projects requiring smaller quantities or pull box payout, the RG6URXX4 (1,000ft pull box) and RG6URXX4-500 (500ft pull box) variants are also available in the same specification.

Where This Cable Belongs

The reel format makes the RG6URXX2 the natural choice for new construction, MDU prewire, and commercial cable distribution projects where multiple long runs need to be pulled sequentially. Whether you're wiring a mid-rise building, running drops to multiple units, or stocking a service van for recurring CATV installs, the 1,000-foot reel keeps your workflow moving without the stops and restarts that smaller packages require. With 3.0GHz sweep verification, ETL listing, and CMR riser approval, this coaxial cable meets the documentation requirements of most commercial bids and inspections out of the box.
