305M Coaxial Astel RG6 / Aerial Cable with no Power

Description

RG6 cable is a type of coaxial cable commonly used for various applications, particularly in television and internet connections. Here’s some key information about RG6 cable:

1. Construction: RG6 cable consists of a central conductor, usually made of copper or aluminum, surrounded by a dielectric insulating material. Over the dielectric, there’s a metal shield, typically made of aluminum foil or braided copper, to protect against interference. Finally, there’s an outer insulating layer, usually made of PVC, to provide further protection and durability.
2. Size: RG6 cable typically has a diameter of around 6.9 millimeters (0.27 inches) for the dielectric and central conductor.
3. Impedance: RG6 cable has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, which is standard for many audio and video applications.
4. Usage: It’s widely used for carrying signals for cable television, satellite television, and broadband internet. It’s capable of carrying high-frequency signals efficiently, making it suitable for high-definition video and high-speed internet connections.
5. Connectors: RG6 cables often use F-type connectors, which are commonly found on TVs, cable boxes, satellite receivers, and internet modems.
6. Advantages: Compared to older RG59 cable, RG6 offers lower signal loss over longer distances and better shielding against electromagnetic interference, making it better suited for high-quality video and data transmission.
7. Applications: In addition to residential uses, RG6 cable is also used in commercial settings, such as in hotels, hospitals, and office buildings, where high-quality video distribution or internet connectivity is required.
