Question: is catv the same as rg6?
Answer: RG6 Quad Shielded cables (RG6Q) and RG6 Dual Shielded cables (RG6) are both coaxial cables. Both cables can be used for setting up home theaters, CATV-MATV systems, or for computer & data processing transmissions to name just a few applications. But RG6Q and RG6 cables are not interchangeable.
