I would add that "sweep tested" doesn't necessarily mean the cable is
good quality. I've seen some "sweep tested" RG6 made for satellite use
that had maybe a 10% braid. I considered it to be horrible quality and
would never use it.
Keeping with a known brand that has a history of making a quality
product is probably more important than looking to see if the cable has
been "tested", at least in the case of RG6...
