RG6 copper clad steel?

Hi,

I am having my first sytem installed this week and would like to run some of the cable myself. I have a roll of Quad shield, 3GHZ, RG6 copper clad steel. I have been reading that solid copper is what is recommended. I am going with SD, DVR and may upgrade to HD in the future. I only have to make 2 runs of about 50' or less running from a strutured media panel, ( I will let the installer run the cable from the dish to the panel, about 70'. ) My question is: would I be ok using this cable with short runs like this?

Thanks,
Joe
