The Difference Between RG11 And RG6 Cables

Key Differences between RG6 and RG11 Coaxial Cables:

1. Signal Quality: RG11 exhibits better signal preservation compared to RG6.

2. Frequency Range: RG11 operates at significantly higher frequencies than RG6.

3. Cost: RG11 is more expensive than RG6.

4. Thickness: RG11 is twice as thick as RG6.

5. Flexibility: RG6 is more flexible than RG11, making it more suitable for common home connections.

6. Usage: RG11 can replace RG6 without sacrificing signal quality.

However, RG6 may not always be sufficient when substituting for RG11, depending on the specific signal requirements.
