RG11 Dual Shield Cable - 14 AWG CCS, Riser Rated, 1000ft Black

Closeout, final sale. This cable is being discontinued and won't be restocked. Orders can't be cancelled once placed, and the cable isn't eligible for return, exchange, or refund. Please read the specifications below carefully before you order, and get in touch first if you have any questions.

RG11 is the coax for the run that's too long for RG6. With a 14 AWG center conductor and a dielectric nearly twice the diameter, it loses roughly a third less signal per foot than RG6 across the CATV and satellite band, which turns a 300 ft drop that would need an amplifier into one that doesn't. This is the general-purpose indoor version: a 14 AWG copper-clad steel center conductor in foam polyethylene, a bonded aluminum foil and a 60% aluminum braid, rated to 3 GHz for cable TV, satellite, DOCSIS, and MoCA, under a flame-retardant PVC jacket listed CM for in-wall and in-ceiling runs.

It's the trunk cable along a hallway ceiling in an apartment building or hotel, the feed from a dish or antenna to a distant head-end, and the long drop across a warehouse or a campus building that RG6 can't make without help. It comes on a 1000 ft wooden spool, in black, with descending footage marks so you always know how much is left.

Features

• Lower loss than RG6. The larger 14 AWG conductor and 7.1 mm dielectric cut attenuation by roughly a third per foot, for drops and trunks past the point where RG6 needs an amplifier.
• CM rated. Flame-retardant PVC jacket listed for general in-wall and in-ceiling use.
• Dual shield. 100% coverage bonded aluminum foil plus a 60% aluminum braid, the standard construction for CATV and satellite distribution.
• 14 AWG copper-clad steel center conductor. The steel core gives the pull strength a long trunk needs and the copper skin carries the signal.
• 75 Ω, rated to 3 GHz. Covers cable TV and DOCSIS to 1.2 GHz, satellite IF to 2.15 GHz, and MoCA to 1.675 GHz.
• Foam polyethylene dielectric. Low loss and stable impedance over the whole band, with an 85% velocity of propagation.
• UL Listed and RoHS compliant.
• 1000 ft wooden spool, black. Descending footage marks on the jacket; put it on a spool stand and it pays out cleanly.

Where It Fits

It suits CATV and broadband trunk lines along the corridors of an apartment building, hotel, dormitory, or office floor, feeds from a satellite dish or antenna to a distant head-end, head-end to floor-distribution runs in multi-dwelling units, long drops across warehouses, big-box retail, and campus buildings, backbone runs between a cable modem termination point and a distant equipment room, and any coax run of 200 ft or more where RG6 loss would otherwise call for an amplifier.

Good to Know

RG11 needs RG11 connectors. At 10 mm the jacket is far too big for an RG6 compression fitting, so use RG11 compression F connectors and an RG11 stripper and compression tool; the fittings are larger and cost more, which is why RG11 is used for the trunk and RG6 for the last drop to each outlet. The cable is stiff, so give it a generous bend radius, plan the route before you pull, and expect to use a bigger hole or conduit than RG6 would need. CM covers general in-wall and in-ceiling use but not riser shafts between floors or return-air plenums; a vertical run up a multi-story building needs a CMR cable, and a horizontal run through a plenum ceiling needs a CMP cable. The jacket isn't UV stabilized or rated for burial, so a run that continues outside should transition to an outdoor-rated cable at the wall, and a rooftop dish feed should enter the building as soon as it can. Copper-clad steel is fine for RF and for the low DC currents of a satellite LNB, but if a long run has to power an amplifier, a solid-copper RG11 has much lower resistance. Where the cable enters from outside, bond the shield to the electrical service ground through a grounding block.
