I ran the cable about 350ft to a beach house without internet. Ran the following network chain: cable modem, router, HPNA coax converter, coax grounding junction, 350 ft coax, HPNA box back to ethernet, wifi router. It worked perfectly. As long as you ground this coax cable it should last.

Great value
High quality cable for the price; not quite pro-grade, but much better quality than basic / cheap coax.

    TV cable - it just works.
    Not much anyone can say about a roll of cable, but it did fix the problems and was easy to use. Hard part was stringing it through the attic ;)

          HD Compatible Coax Cable
          This is excellent coax cable. The cable is rated for 3GB which is required for HD. The box nor any references at Home Depot show the bandwidth of the cable. I researched the cable on the manufacturer's website to ensure it was capable of 3GB bandwidth. Maybe this information will help someone.

          Good product for Digital age
          Well worth the couple extra dollars over lower grade Coaxial cable. eliminated my interference issues. A little harder to terminate, but you-tube videos have good instructions. You need to roll back the two braided layers and cut back the outer foil wrap before inserting into terminal.

          Great product for a decent price
          I bought this cable to run some new lines in my house. Cable is of great quality and so far after about a week or so of using it, it's working great. Very easy to use and setup as well as terminate. Cost was very comparable to other online retailers. This was one of the few places that I could find 500ft, as most places had 100 and then 1000 feet and I didn't need that much. So this worked out just perfect. Quality product and a great price.

          Good Stufff
          I found the cable itself of excellent quality and is the latest iteration of 4 layer wrapping for preserving signal strength. That said it is a little hard to work with installing compression fittings, which are the latest and best terminal ends available. I think the consumer should consider experimenting with a trial piece before making a cable you intend to use, what I wound up doing, I set up a cable trimming tool to expose the first 1/4" to the copper core, the next 1/4" set the tool up to cut thru the 1st foil layer, and 1st wire wrap, which leaves the 2nd foil and 2nd wire wrap intact (if the trimming tool has a third blade remove it) ,THEN before you attempt to insert the fitting, warm the outer housing with a heat gun, to facilitate sliding the connection on. This seemed to work well, but is no guarantee of your results. I am now saving approx. $100.00 a month using an antenna over the service I was using, not as many channels but the picture is just as good.

          Good Quality Cable
          This cable replaced old cable that was interfering with reception from antenna. The new cable works great and seems very heavy duty.

          So far, so good
          The wood of the spools seem a little flimsy, but are holding up as I continue pulling wire. The cable construction seems very good.

          Slightly out of spec
          This cable is of good quality and carries the signal as good as any RG6 quad. The problem is that it is a little thicker than normal RG6 quad. Trying to put compression connectors on this cable is terribly difficult. Instead of sliding on, You will be pushing for a good 5 minutes to get the compression connector seated.
