RG-6/U is a common type of coaxial cable used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications.

RG-6 cables typically are fitted with various types of connector at each end; in CATV distribution applications, these are typically F connector style; in professional baseband video, BNC connectors; and in consumer a/v applications other than RF and CATV, RCA plugs.

Never commit the mistake of installing the wrong RG-6 coaxial cable. An authentic RG-6 cable can be used for distribution of feeds from a satellite dish, cable TV service or rooftop antenna. In comparison to the earlier RG-59 cable, there are no problems with inferior shielding or signal leakage.
