Mediabridge Coaxial Patch Cable (6 ft) Triple-Shielded, in-Wall Rated RG6 Cable with Compression Connectors

This is a nicely built piece of indoor/outdoor cable with solid compression F-connectors. It's a bit stiff, but that's to be expected with a weatherized cable. I bought the 25' version to extend my Tablo antenna and was very pleased with the price and the signal transmission - works great! Would absolutely buy this cable again in the future.

This is good quality cable. The connectors are solidly attached at the ends. You should only use as much cable as you need, because added cable length attenuates the signal, but this is low loss cable and the difference between 25' of cable and 50' of cable probably won't be significant. For outside applications, protect all connections from water, as any water (even humidity) that can make it into the connection will cause corrosion, which is a major source of signal loss. I'd recommend wrapping the sticky rubbery silicone tape that sticks to itself over the connection, sliding heat shrink tubing over that and shrinking it to keep out water. When possible, install connections under eves where they are protected from rain, snow and ice. The blue molded plastic grips on the end connectors allow this cable to be installed by hand, which can be very handy when making blind connections on the back of the TV as it's hanging on a wall mount (detaching the lower portion of the TV from the wall mount and hinging it out from the top helps to make enough clearance), but there is a down side to the plastic connector grips. You'll need to drill a large 9/16" hole in the side of your house if you're running this cable outside to connect to an external antenna. I used this cable to connect a large roof mounted 3'X4' DB8e UHF antenna directly to our Samsung 32" LED TV without using an inline amplifier, and we're picking up strong signals from HDTV stations almost 90 miles away. We get 35 channels of over-the-air HDTV, with no cable bill. I ordered the TV, BluRay/DVD player, coax, antenna mount and antenna from Amazon and it all worked great together. Great price, great value, great convenience. I love shopping on Amazon and having the stuff I want in a couple of days, delivered directly to my door. I don't even watch TV. That's my wife. I do watch some Amazon Prime streaming video, though.

I purchased this cable to use with my RCAANT751R indoor/outdoor antenna to replace a small indoor RCA antenna. The previous antenna I had was connected to RG59 cable. RG59 is a class of cable that is of lower quality than RG6. I found out that my house was wired with the older, RG59 cable. I used to have signal problems with my old indoor antenna, because every time the cable moved, my signal distored. I decided to invest in this quad shield cable even though there are cheaper varieties for this size of cable. The item description lists this as triple shielded, but the wire I received is actually a quad shield cable. This is important because quad shield refers to a metal mesh that surrounds the internal copper wire, protecting it from signal distortion that can occur when other electronic devices or electric cables interfere with signalling. This cable also came with rubberized casing around the f-connector nut. This makes it easier to hand-tighten your cable. I recommend giving the nut a quarter turn with the correct sized wrench to ensure a firm connection. This cable also had a copper wire inside that was too long for my device. I had to clip about 3mm off with some fine wire cutters. You must be careful when treating the internal copper cable, as nicking the wire or splicing it with a knife could result in serious damage to your cable. There are many tools online to help you install cable through the wall. I had to run this cable through my attic to connect it up with an antenna I installed there. The process was fairly straightforward, but you want to protect the ends of the cable from damage by covering them (they sell electrician's tools for feeding cable through wires, and it's possible to jerry-rig some of your own). You might want to Google "The Family Man: Tips for Coaxial Cable Wiring" for helpful tips on installation. As always when working with any electrical cables in the walls of your house, you want to shut off the power in your house, have a flashlight ready, and organize your tool set beforehand. You can also obtain stud finding tools and current locators if you do not already have cable in your walls. This cable has made a world of difference for my TV reception, as I can now access over 20 channels at 83% signal reception or better. This cable is a great deal. I saw one at my local big box hardware store that was only 6 ft long, not quad shield, and for about the same price.

First off, the good. The cable arrived packaged very nicely. I was surprised at this price level. It was coiled tight and wrapped in plastic. The little white end caps were solid (not with a hole in the middle as pictured in the description). The end caps provide great protection for the center conductor when running the wire through holes, ceilings, behind furniture, etc. The blue EZ Grips were very welcome. You can get the connections adequately tight without breaking out a wrench. This seems like a very high quality product. Great value for the money. Now the bad point... Before ordering, I measured how much cable I'll need. I figured 25 feet would reach and give me over a foot of extra. I ended up running the cable to a different point that was a few feet closer than my original plans. Thank goodness! Because the "25-foot" cable made it to that point with just a little extra left. There's no way it would have made it to my original measured spot. I didn't measure the cable (because it was already installed through a drop ceiling), but many reviewers here report measuring only 21 feet on the "25-foot" cable. Their claims seem pretty accurate to me. Still a great deal for a 21-foot cable. But if you NEED a 25-foot cable, order at your own risk!

These are very high quality cables. I especially like the plastic grips for the F connectors.

it arrived quick and works

It’s great

Cleared up reception issues that we had with our old cable.

Bought this product to rewire my home and improve connectivity between the router in the basement and the TV room upstairs. I bought 2 and each came in a tightly wound coil. I unpackef them, straightened them out and then began to fish them between the walls to make an invisible connection. They continued re-coiling and even intertwined with each other. I had to dis-install them twice to straighten them out. Finally when I got sufficient unkinked line to make the install for the most crucial 10 feet, I installed it and then went back to access points, pulled out some wire, unkinked it, re-installed it and pulled along some more wire. When I finally got it installed, I pulled out all the excess wire and pulled it tight to straighten it. I will finish the install tomorrow. It was like trying to install an old long badly-kinked garden hose. The CAT-7 Ethernet cable was a flawless, trouble-free parallel install that took 45 minutes
