Antenna cable


On Fanfare's Web site they offer to sell different lengths of antenna wire in both RG6/U and RG59/U. (I have no clue what these RG "codes" stand for.) It is noted that the RG6/U cable is quad shielded. EX. RG6/U quad-shield coaxial cable c/w F connectors(50') $39.95

I went to Radio Shacks Web page and they have the following, RG-6/U Coaxial Cable $ 0.32 ft.

Is this the same stuff? Is the cable from RS also "quad shielded"?

The RS is w/o connectors, are the connectors difficult to install?

Radioshack also has quad shielded RG6. I recently purchased a 50 ft length preterminated to do a Dish Network install at my Mother's. $25 or so for a 50 ft length. There was also 100 ft and 25 ft preterminated lengths. Best regards, Aaron
The Radio Shack part numbers are 15-1567,15-1568,15-1569, they are 25, 50, and 100 ft lengths terminated w/ F-connectors. Pricing is $20,$30,$40, respectively. The Quad shielded cables are marked with the nomenclature RG6-QS in the descriptions.
