I understand that the wire is thin and the shielding is more like aluminum foil, but how well do you think it would fare for short term beta testing type stuff?

RG-6 is cable TV cable. Mostly it uses the center conductor as it's center pin.
They call them 'F' connectors. Most are crimp type.
Aluminum shielding foil isn't the best conductor. Copper mesh is way better.
The wire gauge is small..The cable itself isn't real bad. It could handle a few amps..
But the female connectors have a very smallish contact area.
I don't think they can handle much power.
