About Bulk Coax Cable. To start with, Coaxial is the copper cable used between the community antenna and user homes and businesses. Coaxial Cable, the two most popular forms being RG6 and RG59 Video; RG6 Video or Satellite Cable is the model most often sold in Dual & Quad Shield.
As opposed to shorter lengths RG6 & RG59, Bulk Coax Cable is seldom retailed packaged, it hardly ever has the connections pre-installed, and it often comes with a CL3 In Wall (fire rating) for its jacket. Moreover, Bulk Coaxial cable has sequential footage marking on its jacket, usually comes in 500' or 1000' roles, and is packaged in either a pull box or simply on a spool.
Coax is predominantly used as video cable for TV / Satellite ( RG-6 ), HDTV, Home Theater, CCTV ( RG-59 ) and other home and commercial applications. It is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users. It is also widely installed for use in business and corporation Ethernet and other types of local area network.
Coaxial cable is an electrical wire consisting of an inner conductor or several uninsulated conductors tightly twisted together, often surrounded by an insulating spacer, surrounded by an outer cylindrical conducting shield (sheath), and usually surrounded by a final insulating layer (jacket). It is often used as a high-frequency transmission line to carry a high-frequency or broadband signal but may also be used for frequencies as low as audio frequency. The electromagnetic field carrying the signal exists (ideally) only in the space between the inner and outer conductors. The shielding reduces interference from external electromagnetic fields, although it does radiate energy, shielding does somewhat reduce the possibility of a transmitting device causing undesired interference through transmission line leakage.
