Choose standard CCS coaxial cable for typical RG6 runs when the project does not call for additional shielding, and choose quad-shield CCS coaxial cable when the design or site conditions call for more shielding. Also select a CMP or plenum-rated jacket for runs through air-handling spaces, raised floors, ducts, or drop ceilings.

Use plenum-rated CCS coaxial cables when the cable will run through air-handling spaces, such as raised flooring systems, air ducts, or drop ceilings. Their CMP or plenum-rated jackets are designed for in-wall plenum and riser applications, so confirm the cable rating against local codes and project requirements before installation.

When comparing CCS coaxial cables for signal performance, review the RG6 construction, 18-gauge oxygen-free copper, and standard or quadshield configurations to match the system’s shielding needs. For installation, select a standard jacket for typical runs or a CMP or plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces, raised floors, ducts, and drop ceilings, then choose the cable length, packaging, and black or white appearance that fit the project.

Choose a 500-foot length for shorter or limited runs, or a 1,000-foot spool when the installation calls for more cable and fewer spool changes. Select a boxed spool or nest based on your preferred payout and handling method, then choose black or white to suit the installation, with plenum-rated cable for air-plenum spaces such as raised floors, air-handling ducts, or drop ceilings.
