Product Information
Full details
The Loops 50-metre RG6 Coaxial Cable is an ideal solution for homeowners and installers seeking reliable signal transmission for satellite or television aerial setups. It offers professional-grade signal integrity through its dual-shielding construction, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. While the copper-clad steel conductor provides excellent durability and structural support, users should handle it with care during installation, as it is less flexible than pure copper alternatives, requiring careful routing around sharp corners.

FAQs
Can I use this cable for internet signals?
Yes, this RG6 cable is suitable for broadband and cable internet signals that utilize F-connector interfaces.
Is the cable UV resistant?
The outer jacket is designed for standard outdoor exposure, but placing it in conduit is recommended for extreme or permanent sun exposure.
What tools do I need to terminate this cable?
You will need a coaxial cable stripper and a compression tool specifically designed for RG6 connectors.
Does this cable come with connectors pre-attached?
This product is supplied as a raw cable spool; connectors must be purchased and attached separately.
Is it suitable for 4K satellite signals?
Yes, the high-frequency shielding and impedance properties support 4K satellite transmission standards.
Troubleshooting
Weak or intermittent TV signal
Check that the F-connector is tightened securely and ensure the centre conductor is not bent or touching the shield.
Signal loss on long runs
Verify that no sharp kinks exist in the cable run and ensure connections at both ends are free from oxidation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 50-metre length accommodates large property installations
- Dual-shielding effectively reduces electromagnetic interference
- Durable construction suitable for outdoor exposure
- Industry-standard 75-ohm impedance for wide compatibility
Cons
- Less flexible than pure copper cabling due to the CCS core
- Requires proper compression connectors for best results
- Heavier gauge may be more difficult to pull through tight conduits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard RG6-compatible connectors. When preparing the cable, ensure the foil shield remains intact and makes proper contact with the connector housing to maintain the shielding benefits.
Installation Best Practices
- Avoid Tight Bends: Maintain a bend radius of at least 10 times the cable diameter to prevent impedance mismatching.
- Connector Sealing: If installing outdoors, use weather-resistant boots or self-amalgamating tape to prevent moisture ingress at the connection point.
- Cable Management: Use appropriate cable clips to secure the run along walls, ensuring you do not crush the cable jacket, which can alter its electrical characteristics.
- Tooling: Use a proper coaxial cable stripper to avoid nicking the centre core or stripping away too much of the braiding.
