RG6 is a co-ax cable commonly used for RF frequency signal transmission in applications such as satellite dish and aerial down leads. There are losses with any signal transmission in wires so signal strength will be reduced for any length of cable. The loss of the signal depends largely on the frequency of the signal and to a lesser extent, the resistance of the cable. The losses that are seen are normally of no significance as long as the receiver is presented with a signal of sufficient magnitude and quality to be able to interpret it correctly.
RG-6 is now not a supported specification. RG-6 cables can vary in performance between one manufacturer and another.
Additionally, the receiver circuitry can play a significant part in the total line length that can be used.
It is impossible to offer a definitive answer to the question because there are so many variables. If there are concerns about the length of the cable run it may be worthwhile to consider larger diameter cables that exhibit lower losses than RG-6. A local satellite or aerial installer will probably be able to ask the right questions and offer a practical solution.

How long can you run an HDMI cable without losing the signal?
15 meters is the reccomended maximum run, with an extender you can run up to 300ft.
What is the purpose of a tv distribution amplifier?
A TV distribution amplifier is used to distribute television signals, such as cable TV signals, to several TVs, without losing power or signal coherency. Many for indoor use resemble simple signal splitters, but actually amplify the signal where needed before passing it on.
What is attenuation in decibels?
The degeneration of a signal over a distance on a network cable is called attenuation. It does not have any relation with decibels. The strength of signal just gets reduced.
How do you fix error 106 on Time Warner Cable?
Ya... Call TWC lol... Signal strength issue
How do you get better signal strength with your PS3 for online play?
The easiest way is to switch to a wired connection with an ethernet cable and router.
What kind of television signal is Time Warner cable?
A cable signal.
Where is the speedometer cable located in a 2003 chrysler sebring?
The speedometer signal is all electronic. There is no cable. The signal comes from speed sensors.The speedometer signal is all electronic. There is no cable. The signal comes from speed sensors.
What is a cable filter used for?
A cable filter is used to attempt to view pay per view channels or movies from a cable company without paying. Cable filters attempt to do this by blocking the return signal to the cable company.
What is the form of the signal in twisted pair cable and coxial cable?
Twisted pair wiring is a digital signal.Coaxial cable is an analog signal.
How many channels do i get with basic cable?
That will depend on your location and the signal strength of your antenna. Use *1 for help in figuring out which antenna will work best for your location.
Why does your surround system losing sound?
It is possible that the signal coming from the source is corrupted. Digital cable and sattelite boxes sometimes have sound dropouts that cannot be fixed on your end.
Can you use a splitter back of your tv so you can put another cable in from another normal tv?
Yes, if you are low on signal strength, use a powered splitter. The passive splitter cuts the sig. strength in half.
