	rg-6 shielded vs un-shielded
I need to know whether or not rg-6 needs to be shielded vs un-shielded when used in a high end home for video feeds. Does it make any differance for the quality? Kelly

Dear Kelly, RG-6 is a shielded coax cable. Yes quality does make a big difference as well as the type of shielding. For the best signal use a quad-shield like a CommScope 2277K and good quality properly sized crimp connectors, avoid using twist on connectors as they will be a headache later. Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
