Hi Carsten,
The loss of copper clad steel (CCS) center conductor RG-6 is somewhat higher
than solid copper (SC) center conductor RG-6 on 1.8 and 3.5 MHz because the
copper cladding is thinner than RF skin depth at those frequencies. The excess
loss of CCS RG-6 is approximately 0.25 dB per 100 feet at 1.8 MHz.
CCS RG-6 may be a problem for powering some remote devices such as preamps or
relays through the cable because CCS RG-6 has significantly more DC resistance
than SC RG-6.

Hi Roger,
CommScope F6TSV Coaxial Cable is available with the inner conductor in
pure copper or copper clad steel.
I only used 'the copper clad version' in the past, would there be an
avantage to use the 'pure copper version'?
