Description

The Mercury Eco RG6 is a 75-ohm coaxial cable built with a solid copper-clad steel conductor, air-spaced polyethylene dielectric, aluminium foil screen, copper-clad aluminium braid and black PVC outer sheath. The combined screen and braid reduce electromagnetic interference to the signal path, making the cable suitable for digital terrestrial TV, satellite dish feeds and cable TV installations.

Designed for residential and commercial fixed installations, the cable arrives on a 100m reel with metric cut markers printed along the sheath to simplify measuring and cutting during installation runs. The 6.6mm overall diameter fits standard F-type compression connectors and screw-on connectors used in satellite and aerial systems. The air-spaced dielectric construction reduces signal attenuation compared to solid foam PE designs across the 5-2150MHz range used by UK satellite and digital TV signals.

The copper-clad aluminium braid (48 strands of 0.12mm wire) provides 60-70% coverage around the foil screen, balancing shielding effectiveness with cable flexibility. The solid copper-clad steel centre conductor carries the signal with a cross-sectional area of 0.79mm² and impedance matched to 75 ohms. Return loss is rated at 24dB minimum per 100m between 5-400MHz, reducing to 16dB minimum per 100m at 1000-2150MHz. Attenuation ranges from 2.9dB/100m at 5MHz to 33.6dB/100m at 2150MHz, typical for RG6 cable in long cable runs from dish to receiver.

Frequently Asked

What is the difference between RG6 and RG59 cable?

RG6 has a thicker centre conductor and dielectric than RG59, giving lower signal loss over longer runs. RG6 is the standard choice for satellite dishes and digital TV installations where cable runs exceed 15-20m. RG59 is thinner and more flexible but only suited to shorter runs below 15m.

What connectors fit this cable?

The 6.6mm outer diameter fits standard F-type compression connectors and screw-on F-type connectors designed for RG6 cable. Compression connectors give a more reliable weatherproof seal for outdoor satellite dish installations.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

The PVC outer sheath is suitable for outdoor use when installed in conduit or trunking to protect it from direct UV exposure and physical damage. For fully exposed runs, cable rated for direct burial or outdoor UV resistance is recommended.

What is air-spaced PE dielectric?

Air-spaced polyethylene uses a foam or cellular structure that introduces air pockets into the dielectric insulation around the centre conductor. This reduces the dielectric constant compared to solid PE, which lowers signal attenuation and improves the velocity factor to 83%.
