Semi-Finished Coaxial Cable RG6
75 Ohm CATV Core Ready for Your Own Shielding and Jacket
Product Overview
What This Product Is
This is the RG6 cable core only: conductor plus foamed polyethylene dielectric, with foil and braid shielding applied to your specification and no outer jacket. Cable plants buy it when they want to run their own jacketing line, apply their own print legend and stay in control of CPR or regional fire classification. Conductor options cover solid bare copper, copper-clad steel, copper-clad aluminium and copper-clad aluminium-magnesium so you can price the core to the market you sell into.
Semi-Finished Coaxial Cable
Key Benefits
What It Gives Your Production Line
Jacket Decisions Stay With You
The core arrives unjacketed, so PVC, LSZH or PE jacketing, colour and printed legend are all decided on your own extrusion line.
Four Conductor Grades on One Spec
BC, CCS, CCA and CCAM are all available in the same RG6 geometry, which lets you serve premium and price-driven customers without changing your process.
Stable Geometry for High-Speed Jacketing
Controlled dielectric diameter and concentricity keep jacket wall thickness even when the line runs fast.
Shielding Built to the Order
Standard foil plus braid, tri-shield or quad-shield with 40 to 95 percent braid coverage, specified per reel.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Cable TV distribution networks
- Satellite TV installations
- Broadband internet drop and distribution cable
- CCTV surveillance wiring
- Commercial and residential RF wiring
Who It Is For
Who Buys It
- Finished-cable plants that own a jacketing line but not a foaming extruder
- Regional brands that need their own print legend and packaging
- Distributors supplying CATV installers who want private-label RG6
Problems It Solves
The Reasons Buyers Move To This Product
Foaming Extrusion Is the Hard Part
Foamed PE calls for a gas or chemical foaming process and closed-loop diameter control. Buying the core skips that capital step while you keep the jacketing margin.
Small Batches of Many Grades
Switching between BC, CCS, CCA and CCAM on your own line costs changeover time. Ordering the core by grade moves that cost upstream.
Regional Fire Rules Keep Moving
With an unjacketed core you re-classify by changing only the jacket compound, not the whole cable construction.

Manufacturing And Quality Control
How It Is Produced And Checked
Production runs from conductor preparation — rod drawing, annealing, stranding and surface cleaning — through foamed insulation extrusion with controlled cell size and on-line diameter monitoring, then foil wrapping and braiding to the shield specification ordered. The line stops before jacket extrusion.
Conductor Preparation
Rod drawing, annealing and surface cleaning so the insulation bonds without microvoids.
Insulation Monitoring
Insulation thickness and concentricity monitored continuously on line during extrusion.
Shield Verification
Foil overlap and braid coverage checked against the ordered shield construction.
Electrical Spot Check
Impedance and attenuation sampled against the published values for the construction.
Reel Packing
Reels wrapped in plastic film against moisture and dust, then cartoned or palletised.
Customisation Options
What Can Be Changed
- Conductor grade: BC, CCA, CCS or CCAM
- Braid coverage from 40 to 95 percent
- Aluminium or copper foil
- Tri-shield or quad-shield construction
- Reel length and reel type
Use Guide
Working With It On Your Line
- Check reel labels for conductor grade and shield build before loading the pay-off; grades look similar on the reel.
- Keep the core wrapped until it enters the jacketing line so the foil stays clean and dry.
- Set jacket line tension against the core OD, not the finished OD, to avoid crushing the foam dielectric.
- Run a spark test and OD check on the first 50 m of each reel before committing the run.

FAQ
Semi-Finished Coaxial Cable RG6 FAQ
Is the outer jacket included?
No. RG6 is supplied as a core only — conductor, foamed PE dielectric and the shielding you specify. You apply the jacket.
Which conductor materials can I order?
Solid bare copper (BC), copper-clad aluminium (CCA), copper-clad steel (CCS) and copper-clad aluminium-magnesium (CCAM).
What braid coverage is available?
40 to 95 percent on standard and tri-shield builds. Quad-shield is supplied as 60 percent and 40 percent braid layers.
What length comes on a reel?
Typically 500 m or 1000 m. Custom lengths are produced to order.
How is the core protected in transit?
Each reel is wrapped with plastic film against moisture and dust, then packed in cartons or on pallets for bulk orders.
What does a 500 m reel weigh?
Approximately 15 to 22 kg, depending on conductor grade and shield construction.
