RG6 cables

[Donut417]

Are quad shielded necessary? Or what do you recommend? 

 

Im going to replace the main cable line going up to our attic, because simple we got some walls knocked out and the RG59 that is currently there has been there for 20 years. We plan on putting a conduit in the wall to make it easier to pull more cables. Which we might need if we end up doing an attic antenna. Though we are not sure if one is worth it yet. The reason why Im replacing this RG59 cable is our internet runs thru it. In the attic now I got the RG59 connected via a barrel connector to some RG6 we laid in there when we had cable. My dad put 3 RG6 cables in the attic and we ran a spliter on the RG59. I figure now why the walls are out we can replace that cable and it should be good.

Standard rg6 should have enough insulation, hence it has more insulation and shielding than rg59. Run it and test it before closing up. Depending on length you might need a signal booster, but if it worked before it should work fine afterwards.

The current RG59 cable is about 20 or so feet, so I think I should be fine.

I don't know how much that is, but considering the increased insulation and shielding standard for rg6 i'd agree. You're most likely fine.
