Quad Shield

How do I identify RG6 vs RG6 Quad-Shield?

I need to repair a cable (the one behind a faceplate can be pulled out of the crimp fitting) but I don't know if it's RG6 or RG6 Quad-Shield.

If the cable was installed by the cable company it is more than likely rg6, or maybe even rg59. rg6 quad shield has four layers of foil insulation as opposed to rg6's two layers. The cable company is not going to go to the extra expense of installing quad cable when on standard catv runs the less expensive rg6 will do.
