In terms of materials, coaxial cable costs $0.20 to $0.50 per foot. A 2,000 foot installation would cost $400 to $1,000 in materials and an additional $1,500 to $4,000 in labor. Coaxial cable is probably the most common type of cable. This standard black cable (or sometimes white or gray) includes the pin-style plug and connects to a cable jack in the wall. This cable is becoming less common, but it is the most affordable solution for those who want a hardwired network but may not have the budget for fiber optics or even CAT cables.
