Monoprice RG6 Digital Coaxial RCA Cable 50ft

Monoprice RG6 RCA is a 50-foot, CL2-rated digital coaxial cable built from RG-6/U with double copper braid shielding and gold-plated RCA plugs for reliable S/PDIF, composite video, and subwoofer connections.

This cable combines 75-ohm RG-6/U construction with high-purity oxygen-free copper conductors and dual copper braiding to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The CL2 jacket lets you run the cable inside residential walls where local fire codes require a Class 2-rated jacket. At 50 feet and a capacitance of about 22 pF per foot, it balances length with signal integrity for home theater, audio, and video systems.

Will this cable carry digital audio like S/PDIF without loss?

Yes — the cable’s 75-ohm impedance and low capacitance suit digital coaxial audio signals, helping preserve timing and amplitude across long runs. Dual copper braids add shielding so ambient EMI/RFI has less chance to corrupt the bitstream.

• 75 ohm characteristic impedance for digital audio compatibility
• 97% oxygen-free copper conductor for low resistance
• Double copper braid shielding reduces external interference
• 22 pF/ft capacitance keeps frequency response stable over distance

Can I use this cable for composite video or a powered subwoofer?

Yes — this coaxial cable is multi-purpose. It handles analog composite video and line-level or powered subwoofer signals; the characteristic impedance and shielding help maintain picture clarity and bass definition when paired with appropriate equipment.

• Composite video compatible thanks to 75-ohm RG-6/U construction
• Shielding minimizes picture noise and radio interference
• Suitable for subwoofer or other RCA line-level connections
• Gold-plated RCA connectors for consistent contact and corrosion resistance

Is this cable safe to run inside walls and what does CL2 mean?

CL2 is a safety classification for in-wall cable use in residential settings; it indicates the jacket has been treated to meet flame and smoke standards appropriate for that environment. This Monoprice cable’s CL2 rating means it can be routed through interior walls without violating typical Class 2 wiring codes, though you should always check local building regulations.

• CL2-rated jacket for residential in-wall installations
• Meets flame-retardant specifications for Class 2 circuits
• Designed to be used in typical home installations when local codes permit
• Still verify local regulations before concealed wiring

How does the connector and construction affect long-term performance?

Durable connectors and construction reduce signal degradation over time. Rubber-molded housings protect the gold-plated RCA contacts and strain points, while oxygen-free copper conductors and heavy braid shielding preserve conductivity and lower interference susceptibility.

• Gold-plated RCA male plugs resist corrosion and maintain good contact
• Rubber-covered molded housings reduce connector strain and damage
• 97% oxygen-free copper conductor minimizes resistive loss
• Double shielded braid for long-term EMI/RFI protection

Who this cable is for: Installers and home-audio enthusiasts who need a dependable 50-foot digital coaxial run for S/PDIF, composite video, or subwoofer lines will find this Monoprice RG6 RCA cable practical and cost-effective. It’s aimed at people wiring home theaters, AV receivers, or single-room audio systems who want a CL2-rated jacket for concealed runs, strong shielding against interference, and reliable connectors to maintain signal quality over moderate distances.
