Wavenet RG6URXX4 RG-6 60% Dual Shield (CCS) CMR 18AWG 3.0GHz 1000ft Coaxial Cable

Wavenet RG6URXX4 — RG-6/U 60% Dual Shield CMR Coaxial Cable, 18AWG, 3.0GHz, 1000ft

Built for demanding residential and commercial cable distribution, the Wavenet RG6URXX4 is a riser-rated (CMR) RG-6/U coaxial cable engineered to carry CATV, satellite, and broadband signals cleanly and reliably. Swept and verified to 3.0GHz, this cable meets the bandwidth requirements of modern cable television, OTA antenna systems, and satellite installations without compromise.

Conductor & Shielding

At its core, the RG6URXX4 uses an 18AWG solid Copper Clad Steel (CCS) conductor measuring 0.040 inches in diameter — a robust choice that balances conductivity with structural strength for long pull lengths. Surrounding the conductor is a Foam Polyethylene (Foam PE) dielectric insulation layer with a nominal thickness of 0.073 inches and an insulation diameter of 0.186 inches, optimizing the cable's signal velocity at 84% of the speed of light.

The dual-shield construction features a 60% aluminum braid with a braid diameter of 0.213 inches. This shielding configuration provides effective protection against signal ingress and egress, maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments typical of multi-unit buildings, equipment rooms, and wall-run installations.

Jacket & Build Quality

The cable's outer PVC jacket carries a nominal thickness of 0.2716 inches and an overall cable diameter of 0.295 inches, making it well-suited for standard wall plates, fittings, and compression connectors. At 300 lbs per 1,000-foot reel, the build is substantial — a reflection of material quality rather than a handling concern for professional installers working with standard cable management hardware.

Electrical Characteristics

Attenuation Performance (dB/100m)

Signal loss remains low across the full frequency range. Measured attenuation spans from 2.66 dB/100m at 5MHz to 37.88 dB/100m at 3000MHz — performance that supports high-frequency CATV and satellite applications across long cable runs. Key reference points include 16.70 dB/100m at 550MHz, 22.97 dB/100m at 1000MHz, and 32.83 dB/100m at 2400MHz.

Standards & Certifications

The RG6URXX4 is verified to C(ETL)US and cable-marked as CATV swept to 3.0GHz. It meets or references the following applicable standards:

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

The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating allows this cable to be run between floors in commercial and residential buildings — meeting fire resistance requirements for vertical applications without requiring plenum-rated cable.

Packaging & Part Numbers

The RG6URXX4 is available in black (RG6URBK4) and white (RG6URWH4) jacket colors, both packaged in 1,000-foot pullboxes for clean, tangle-free deployment on the job site. A 500-foot pullbox variant is also available for smaller projects.

Ideal Applications

This cable is well-suited for structured wiring in residential homes, MDU/apartment buildings, hospitality installations, and commercial CATV distribution — anywhere a riser-rated, high-bandwidth coaxial cable is required. The 3.0GHz sweep verification makes it compatible with modern DOCSIS cable modem systems, digital broadcast, and satellite IF signal distribution.
