Engineered for overhead installations, this RG6 dual-shield aerial cable delivers reliable signal performance with an integrated galvanized steel messenger wire that provides structural support for pole-to-pole, building-to-building, and rooftop runs. Purpose-built to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining consistent signal quality for cable TV, satellite, and broadband applications.

Key Features

Integrated Messenger Wire – Factory-attached galvanized steel support strand eliminates the need for separate suspension hardware and prevents cable sag over long spans. Simply anchor at both ends and tension—no lashing or additional support cables required, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs.

Dual-Shield Protection – Two-layer shielding system with 100% bonded aluminum foil plus 60% aluminum braid provides robust EMI/RFI rejection, ensuring interference-free video and data transmission even near power lines, transformers, and RF sources in outdoor environments.

18 AWG Copper-Clad Steel Core – Solid copper-clad steel (CCS) conductor delivers the mechanical strength needed for aerial spans while maintaining precise 75Ω impedance for optimal signal transfer. Sweep-tested to 3.0 GHz for reliable performance with satellite systems, DOCSIS cable modems, MoCA networking, and HDTV applications.

Weather-Resistant CMR Construction – UV-stabilized polyethylene jacket with flame-retardant properties withstands prolonged sun exposure, temperature extremes, moisture, and environmental stress. CMR/CL2 fire rating meets NEC requirements for outdoor use and riser applications between building floors.

Superior Bandwidth vs. RG59 – Thicker 18 AWG conductor provides twice the throughput capacity of standard RG59 cable, supporting higher data rates and maintaining signal quality over longer aerial distances—essential for HD video and high-speed internet applications.

Interference-Free Routing – Coaxial geometry confines the electromagnetic field between the center conductor and shield, allowing safe installation alongside metal support structures, guy wires, and building infrastructure without signal degradation or power loss.
