Should I care about "only" triple shielded vs quad shielded RG6? The cable will run about 75 feet tucked under aluminum siding.

Hello John, Our cables would work fine tucked under aluminum siding due to the triple shielding it has. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

Cat 6 cable will work fine. Not 100 percent sure on the maximum for this system but i think i read up to 190 ft on the PoE.

We forwarded this question on to a certified Wilson Electronics representative that is a friend of ours and this was his response: "RG 58 Cable does not have Much Shielding Connectors on it or even worse. The system in your house right now Is RG 400 triple shielded. Difference of night and day."

Yes,I used rg6 quad insulated and it did fine,will last if you use it easy......

I don't know about shielded but I'll bet Fluke tech support knows. I'm pretty sure it will tone coax cable which is shielded of course. You could use the toner attached to the shield. That would effectively remove the shield as an issue.

Short answer, yes. The is no shielding for the signal on UTP wire. For anything over 150' you would want to use a RG59 cable, if you need the powerlines, then get RG59 Siamese cable. that will get you up to about 300-500 feet, you can typically go up to about 1800' if you run RG6.

As a rule of thumb (contrary to popular belief) RG59 CAN be used for lengths up to around 125'. RG6 can be used for lengths up to 200' and RG11 to lengths of 400'. These do assume a solid copper center conductor, and at least 60% braid on the shield to reduce the resistance in the wire (Ohms Law). The lower the quality of coax cable and connector - the shorter the run may be. The bottom line is that the LNB receive at least 13Volts for Odd Transponders, and ~15/16V for Even.

If you use COPPER cat5 cable, you can run about 330 ft before signal degrades. Do NOT use cat5 CCA (copper clad aluminum) cable. It is stiff, brittle, kinks easily, and VERY unpredictable for signal carriage. Sometimes, you can get 300 feet, next time you're lucky to get 10 feet before problems arise. Spend the few extra bucks and go worry free. Get copper cat5!

i have 6 ohm speakers and use 12 feet each of 18 gauge wire. it works perfectly for the short runs in my space. you might try 16 gauge instead. the inexpensive stuff they sell at Lowes or Amazon works every bit as good as Monster cable which costs many more $ than generic cable. its all copper.

Normally, as a rule of thumb, you can safely run up to 200ft if all other conditions are good (signal quality, strength, etc.). After ~200ft, you need to jump to RG11 cable. Also, you must keep in mind, this is quad shield, and requires a different compression fitting than regular RG6 due to the extra shielding making it a thicker cable.

I used "Mediabridge Coaxial Digital Audio Video Cable - (50 Feet) - Triple Shielded, F-Pin to F-Pin with Easy Grip Connector Caps" from Amazon. This is RG-6. Works like a charm.

Yes, but if you want even less loss, use RG6 as I did. You might as well get the best bang for the buck if your running cable. You will need specific RG6 connectors for the ends of the cable.

It was marketed a RCA. From what I understand either works. Its a matter of shielding. I am running this cable next to six other cables without problems.

Yes, I am using it over shielded cat 6. However anything that will work over cat 5 will work over cat 6. the wiring pin out on both is the same. The primary difference between cat 5 and 6 is shielding and other standards to allow longer data line runs.

if you buy the kit it comes with 75 ohm RG6 cable. best of luck. i am very happy with the results

Not sure what you mean by shielded but the cable has a rubber cover. Hope this helps.

The cables that are included in this system are thin gauge, non insulated and non UL rated . If they cross over an AC line in the walls you may see interference on the cameras. In that case use the UL rated and fully shielded cables to prevent RFI....( QSVRG series cables )
