Yes. As I recall, it's a Commscope cable they're selling. About five years 
ago, I wanted to have RG6 in stock to rewire my home for FM and TV, and 
for other general uses. I bought 1,000 ft of a very good RG6 direct from 
Commscope for about $110. I never got around to rewiring the house, and 
brought that cable to CA with me when I moved here four years ago. It was 
quickly pressed into service for my Beverages. :) It's not flooded, but 
it's still working after nearly three years. 

Allowing for inflation and a reasonable markup, I'd say DXE's price is 
quite reasoanble, and Commscope makes great coax. They're a spin-off (more 
than a decade ago) from the breakup of one of the major telecoms.
