Quad RG-6

[tech_freak]

Looking for some Quad Shield RG-6 cable for a new satellite install.I only need around 125-150 ft,but all I seem to see is 500ft+.Most of them are copper-clad and not copper.Any particular brands I should check? Places that may have the amount I need?

Try a search for solid copper RG6.
Mono Price looks like all copper clad.
I don't buy less than 1000' pull boxes, so I'm not sure on shorter lengths.
I found this:RG6 3 GHz Quad Shield Bare Copper RG6 CommScope 5781 coax cable
It's $0.39 a ft.

125' in one run? HD sells it by the foot or u can by 100' sections for 24.00$ there
500' of rg 6 quad for 44.00 at HD- sell what you don't use on CL

I would need around 125ft for all three runs.The longest being probably 70ft. Wasn't aware that HD sold it by the foot or roll. Looks like they have Cerrowire and Southwire which I have never heard of. Is one better than the other?

I use cerro- it is swept to 3.0 ghz for the entire roll- and it is marked so you don't have to measure it with a tape.

Think I'll run to the HD 20 miles away tomorrow and see what they have.

It looks like it's all copper clad.
Maybe call to double check before driving 20 miles.
