Amp draw on RG6 quad shield surprised me today

I looked up the spec sheet for a 500 ft spool of quad shield and the DC resistance is way higher than I thought, like 33% more than regular RG6. That matters for those long drops we do in big warehouses, has anyone else actually checked their attenuation numbers?

Damn that's a real eye opener, especially when you're running 200+ feet in a warehouse and every little bit of loss adds up. I always just grabbed quad shield assuming it was better but never actually crunched the numbers like that.
