Default Coax cable for component video?

Will I be better off running three RG6 cables myself and make my own RCA
connectors? It will be the same price even if I pay for the compression
tool and stripper myself. Seems it will be a better way to go unless these
special cables have some magic properties that will prevent signal loss
compared to home made RG6.

I found this:

Looking at the V3-5CFB cable, does it mean it is a single RG6 cable but
contains all three video cables needed for component video in one single
run
and at the end you split those into three different connectors?

Just started looking into the subject and wonder if I should make my own
cable or buy long ones for in-wall attic runs.

It's not a single "RG-6" cable, it's a cable that contains 3, 75 ohm

cables,
that are "similar" to RG-6. RG-6 is a single 75 ohm cable.

The cable that you have referenced would be fine for running component

video
lines. Also as you suggest you would terminate the three internal cables

at
each end with RCA type connectors.
