Need help identifying cable - RG59 or RG-6 saag 07-25-06

I'm having work done in the house and the walls are off so I can see
the cable. It's black & labeled E83032 F660BVV (2 V's not a 'W'')
CATV.

Anyone know if this is RG59 or RG-6 cable?

thanks

A simple Google search says:

-> COMMSCOPE RG6 1GHZ 18AWG QUAD-SHIELDED HQ 75 OHM COAX TV/VIDEO CABLE

I was going to post justgoogleit, as the first hit on F660BVV is the
datasheet, but I guess the datasheet doesn't tell you that way..

With a 18AWG center conductor, its RG6.

Not as good of specs as Belden 1694A, but still RG6.
