UPC Installations: Required 10mm Diameter Coaxial Cable vs. 6.9mm Alternative (RG6, 75 Ohm)

Hello,

My problem is that the UPC technique insists that the cable for their installations must have a diameter of about 10mm. This is too much for me, because I will have a problem with placing it in the skirting board. I received data on the email that it must be: "antenna cable (coaxial) - RG6 designation, cross section above 10 mm, resistance 75 Ohm.".
I found a cable with such a specification, which has a diameter of 6.9mm - which would already be ok for me.

The question is whether the UPC technician is right and the cable must be 10mm in diameter and it can not have, for example, 6.9mm?

A colleague can buy such a cable and installers to install. The only question is what in the event of a failure? The company will find "damage due to the fault of the subscriber due to materials used by the customer and installed at his request" and then the colleague will be worried about what to do with it. Maybe I will anticipate questions such as: this is not possible, as the company cares about the client, etc. It may be brutal but true and used by many companies - my materials, my assembly, my warranty. For the materials provided by the client, the company will not take responsibility. I am confident that in the event of a disruption in reception will say, "Mr. on our side everything is fine for the apartment well "

The fact, unfortunately, that may be the reason for not accepting the complaint. Therefore, I would like to make sure that this cable has the same parameters or if someone has already used a similar method

Electrical parameters certainly do, but in such situations it is also about mechanical strength. The rest, as I wrote above and the willingness of installers and the company that provides the signal.

Maybe such something: tc6 / ccs / trishield / 80

I have not met with an RG6 cable with a diameter of over 10mm. Yes, the diameter (and even greater) has RG11 cables, but such is used in long buses and in the apartment I think it is an exaggeration. Therefore, Triset, I dare say, that the cheaper RG6-Cu from Dipol would also be OK
