Encore Wire c5886.31.01 RG-6 18 Awg Coaxial Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE c5886.31.01 is an RG-6 coaxial cable rated for riser installations, supplied in a 1000-foot spool. Built on an 18 AWG center conductor, this cable is designed to carry broadband RF signals including cable television, satellite, and antenna distribution systems. The riser (CMR) fire rating classifies it for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential structures where conduit is not required. Electricians and low-voltage installers use this cable for structured wiring projects, MDU installations, and AV rough-in work where a full-spool run is the standard unit of supply.

This coaxial cable is suited for residential and light commercial signal distribution applications. Typical installations include home runs from satellite dishes or cable entry points to distribution panels, vertical riser runs through multi-story buildings, and backbone wiring for CATV or antenna systems. The 1000-foot length supports large rough-in jobs without mid-run splices, which preserves signal integrity across the run. Low-voltage contractors and licensed electricians performing structured cabling work are the primary installers.

Key Features

• RG-6 coaxial construction on an 18 AWG center conductor for broadband RF signal transmission
• Riser (CMR) fire rating approved for vertical floor-to-floor runs without conduit in qualifying structures
• 1000-foot spool minimizes mid-run splices and simplifies inventory management on large jobs
• Suitable for cable television, satellite, and over-the-air antenna distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RG-6 riser-rated coaxial cable compatible with F-type connectors and fittings used in CATV, satellite, and antenna signal distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 820 governing community antenna television and radio distribution systems. Confirm that the riser rating meets local building code requirements before running cable in vertical shaft or plenum spaces. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid compromising the dielectric and shield. De-energize any connected active equipment before terminating or splicing the cable.
