Yep.  The stuff I saw had a bright orange sheath and was
obviously pretty thick.  You can't miss it.

There are also a couple of systems that multiplex multiple
signal types (line level audio in/out, video in/out, phone,
etc) onto a single piece of RG6, but the cost is significantly
higher per room.
