Identify RG6 Coax used PPC Perfect Flex

Hello,

I am trying to identify a recently installed coax cable by xfinity/comcast. The PPC product catalog (https://products.ppc-online.com/product-filter/region:28;product-group:78;product-brand:76/) does not show any information on the model number of 5014595. They use P6******* with a bunch of letters and numbers. This information is not on the cable.

Below is all the information that is on the cable:


PPC Perfect flex 6 Series 18 AWG CATV CL2, CL3, <ETL>us or CM c<ETL>us 5014595 '2022' 272ft

This is also a WHITE cable. From what I see in the product catalog, there are at least 5 different series 6 White RG6 cables. Though it may not even be listed on the site...

P6ET77VVWBF
P6ET77VVWRF
P6ET77VVPWRF
P6ET77VVWBFC
P6ET77VVWLFNR

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_aqw7y3! Our technicians use an RG6 Quad shield coaxial cable. Outside of those specifications, there is not an exact model number.

@XfinityAldrik​ I was told the cable usage/type is dictated by whatever outside contractor does the service. Are you saying in your area, or your contract, you use Quad Shield RG6? I'm looking for an exact match, but I do appreciate your response.

@user_aqw7y3 Outside of knowing that our services are installed with the Quad Shield RG6 we aren't able to provide an exact model number.

As long as it's 75 ohm RG6 quad shield it will be fine. It doesn't have to be an exact model number match. The specs are standardized.

@EG​ Thank you, however I am trying to properly ID a cable that has already been installed.

Oh, OK. Apologies for misunderstanding. This comment threw me off;
