Customer Reviews for Southwire (By-the-Foot) 18 RG6 Dual Shield CU CATV CM/CL2 Coaxial Cable in Black

Good product for network drops

Thank you for the product! The cable worked well for our project.

Met all my expectations for quality professional grade cable. The braid and inner conductor are proper size/amount for RG-6, unlike what you'd likely see in cheap no-name budget focused offerings. The inner foil shield doesn't peel off or come apart when folding back the braid during termination, a mark of quality cable. PPC EX6 compression connectors slide on with perfect fit - not too loose or too tight. The cable footage is marked on the cable every 2 feet so you know how much cable you've run or have left. All qualities of a pro grade cable that professionals use.

Worked great. East to install compression fittings on. Fitting fit snug. Had to fab my own spool holder, but not a big deal. Great product for home cable installations.

Exactly what I needed

I don't do reviews but for you to stop bothering me, it was just fine. Well worth the cost. No problem picking it up.

It worked great for what we needed it for!

The cost is a little high. You can order online and wait a few days and get it a little cheeper

Very easy to work with. High quality.

Good quality wire at average price. Use this wire often. Had an employee pick this wire up and bring to job site. Ordered and paid for it on-line and had in store pick up. Site showed 21 boxes in stock, the box we got looked like it had been run over by a truck. Had to rebuild the box just to get the wire to feed out. This box should have been marked down or on clearance. Not the normal quality of service we have come to expect from Home Depot

the footage markers are a useful feature

A really great value and great product

Very good cable at a very good price at retail

I have been using this cable for serval projects lately and it works well and the price is right.

Crimped easily. Seems to have fairly low signal loss. Running from attic antenna down to distribution in basement. Signal at tv after distribution is clean.

Being a lifelong Belden cable installer, there is definitely a difference in quality between Belden and this stuff. This wire and jacket are significantly thinner and thus, you must be more careful when pulling it. I also found it to have a tendency to kink in odd areas along 100'+ runs. I would rate this stuff as average quality but nothing more. Should be fine for most any Cat5e run, with or without PoE injection - but don't exceed the maximum spec which is a 328' for any single run. If you are thinking about using this for Cat6 or higher (to save some bucks) - please reconsider. Performance will not be what you expect it to be.

Couldn’t be happier. Did the job.

Good general purpose cable. Be sure to use strip string after initial cut of outer shield. Inner wire shielding is easily nicked and this will alleviate any exposure.

I have used this product previously and found it reliable

Very good price and convenient

Worked great for what I needed it for.
