RG6 Coax, or coaxial, is the copper cable used between the community antenna and user homes and businesses. Coaxial Cable, the two most popular forms being RG 6 and RG59 Video, was invented in 1929 and first used commercially in 1941. RG6 Coax is primarily a Satellite Cable that Usually outfitted with F Connectors; either compression fitted or screw on. RG 6 Video or Satellite Cable is sold in Dual & Quad Shield, as well as CL3 In Wall, UL Listed, and Plenum rated models. .
RG6 Video Cable is called "coax" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded (after a layer of insulation) by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The outer channel of serves as a ground. Many pairs of coaxial tubes can be placed in a single outer sheathing and, with repeaters, can carry information for a great distance. As stated, RG 6 Coaxial is predominantly used as video cable for TV / Satellite, where RG59 is most often used for HDTV, Home Theater, CCTV Security Camera Cable and other home and commercial applications.
Moreover, RG 6 is an electrical Cable 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.
