I am a total newbie, so please forgive me if this is a silly question.

What is the difference between RG6 and RG6U cable?
Is one better, and if so, which one and why?
Thanks, Max

I think it's the way different companies list their products. most inportant is the sheilding and center conducter material.

Thanks rainman.

I am looking to buy cables for component video ( 3 cables ). One place is saying they use RG6 which is better than RG59 that everyone else uses.

When trying to research RG6 I also found references to RG6U so I was wondering what the dif was.

Maybe I should have just asked, what is the best cable to use for component video cables? They need to be 35 feet long if that makes any difference.

RG6U means it is an RG6 cable with UL certification
