Drop and premise RG6
Use this line for 75 ohm drop cable between a tap, a wall plate, or a set-top location. Record messenger or no messenger, burial or aerial jacket, and the connector family. Do not fold a fiber lateral into the same price cell.

coaxial cable rg6 price
A coaxial cable rg6 price is comparable after the construction is fixed. LinkScope Sourcing 24 is an independent sourcing partner. The desk asks factories to price the same conductor, dielectric, shield, jacket, length basis, and connector plan, then lays those replies next to one another.
Prepare the host side of the link before the number: 75 ohm nominal impedance, the frequencies you actually use, and whether the run is an outdoor drop, a riser, or a short jumper. A bare meter rate without those fields mixes different products.

Evidence to collect before a price is useful
Each row is a question for the supplier. The desk does not treat a family catalog as proof that the offered reel matches the row.
Conductor
Ask whether the center is solid copper or copper-clad steel, and record the gauge. An 18 AWG / about 1.02 mm center is a common RG6 question, not a default you can assume.
Shield
State foil plus braid, tri-shield, or quad-shield, and the braid coverage percent you need. Shielding effectiveness and ingress behavior change with that stack.
Jacket
Separate PVC, polyethylene, riser, and plenum constructions. The building path decides the jacket; a lower meter rate on the wrong jacket is a different purchase.
Sweep data
Request attenuation and return loss at the frequencies in your plant, such as 50 MHz, 220 MHz, 550 MHz, 1000 MHz, and 2150 MHz, in dB per 100 m or dB per 100 ft, tied to the named construction. A TIA premises overview checked on 2026-10-27 can suggest the question; it does not certify the reel.
Center metal
Solid copper is the request when the drop also carries power. Copper-clad steel is the usual RF-only alternative when the specification allows it. A lower rate on the other metal is a different line, not a discount.
Cable families that stay on separate lines
Connectorized jumpers
A factory-fitted F or BNC jumper carries termination labor, return loss of the finished assembly, insertion loss of that short length, and a stated length. Compare it with bulk cable plus field connectors as two offers, not as one meter rate. Keep VSWR on the jumper row when the drawing uses it.
Headend and RF interconnect
Short interconnects inside a rack may need a tighter bend radius and a different connector cycle life. Keep their impedance and frequency range on their own BOM row so a long drop reel does not set their price.
Related notes: how a per-meter figure is normalized and buyer briefs.
Put these measurement rows on the brief before a price is ranked: nominal impedance 75 ohm, an 18 AWG / 1.02 mm center, a frequency range such as 5 MHz to 1000 MHz or 5 MHz to 2150 MHz, return loss and insertion loss at the top frequency, VSWR when the jumper specification asks for it, connector mating cycle count when ends are reconnected in test, and an ingress protection note if the connector sits outdoors. A 305 m reel and a 40 m cut stay on different rows. None of those figures are results from this desk.
Compatibility questions that change the quotation
Does the connector match the port?
An F-male on a 75 ohm drop does not answer a BNC or N-type port. Ask for the exact interface, the plating, and the mating-cycle expectation if the jumper will be reconnected during test.
Is 75 ohm the whole story?
Nominal impedance still needs the supplier attenuation table. A photograph of RG6 print legend does not establish return loss at the top frequency you care about.
What is outside the cable price?
Split connectors, sweep testing, reel deposits, cut charges, freight, duties, and the destination. Those items move the landed total even when the cable construction matches.
Which standard is a question source?
A TIA cabling overview can suggest premises questions. It does not certify an RG6 reel. Ask the supplier which test method and which document apply to the exact construction.
Compare factory quotations on one RG6 basis
Send the construction, quantity, US or other destination, and the timing you need. The desk coordinates replies. It does not publish a standing price and it does not claim the factories have been audited by this site.
