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

Perfect fit. Thank you

Perfect for cable runs in a dry crawl space under the house. Flexible and light weight.

Ran a new cable from router to den, about 50 ft. Cable worked great. Used a Klein cable stripper/crimper to fix RJ45 data plugs. Plugged in Roku TV, all working good.

It is what I expected.

Quite a long run of wire for the price. You do have to purchase the ends and it helps to have the splicer tool.

We use this for all of our T.V. antenna installations and I couldn't ask for a better value for the money. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for bulk cable in any situation.

Great Wire!! I wired my entire house and made several custom length cables!!

Great quality. Pull easily through box without problems

Good product no kinks in the roll.

We had good luck with this product. Only time will tell on the durability.

I bought 4 boxes, and 3 were good. The 4th box was all tangled from the very first pull. I’m not sure I can untangle it, and may have to take it back. I’ve been way too busy to have to be dealing with this right now. Not a happy camper.

As others have mentioned, poor, thin jacket construction. We run a lot of cable everyday and needed few boxes in a pinch, and this is what they brought unfortunately. Poor length markings, twists and tangle quite a bit once pulled about 15-20 feet. Nicked quite a few conductors stripping the out jack with a Cyclops; never see this problem with cable we supply, and that cable is actually less expensive. Made for a lot of extra work, unfortunately. Measured pairs on a 180' run were different by about 10"; that is much more than the 1-2" max we see with cable purchased from our local supply houses. All that said, it did work, but added considerable time to our job. I don't think I'd use this even in a pinch again, way too much extra work, as it is much too expensive and compares with the inexpensive "white box" cable we are supplied with in some spec jobs. On another note, this cable does not work well with the Ideal brand EZ pass thru connectors reliably at all; many simply pulled off after crimping. The EZ exo44 was fine after we re-did all of the plug terminated connections, the exo48's were too big to stay on reliably.. I believe that this is due to the slightly smaller than typical diameter of this cable.

the cable kinks up too much. the plenum Jacket easily cut

Good price for this cable. It is a shame that RG11 cable in 300 to 500 feet is not more accessible. I'm upgrading my existing audio/visual cable from RG6 Quad to RG11. Short runs of maybe 50 feet or less.

Well packaged. As a test, I connected a POE camera through the entire 500ft while still in the box. It worked perfectly.

Does what it's supposed to do

It's good Quality .

Just what I needed.
