Best Answer

yes

RG6 should be used exclusively for satellite hookups and digital CATV. RG59 is fine for analog CATV signals but will not support the higher bandwidth used for satellite signals.

What coaxial cable supports HDTV?

I could be wrong, but I believe you are talking about an HDMI cable. Between the antenna and the TV set use RG6 cable.


Identify the connector that can be used to connect RG6 cables?

The "F" connector is the most common type that is used on RG6 cable. This is the universal connector for home use of RG6 with antennas, CATV, satellite, and consumer electronics.


What does impedance mean and how does it affect RG6 cables?

Impedance is similar to resistance, but with an extra property called reactance that only affects AC signals. A steady DC signal only "sees" the resistance of a circuit or a cable, while AC "sees" both the resistance and the reactance. The resistance plus the reactance equals the impedance. The reactance includes both capacitance (a tendency to store electrical energy) and inductance (a tencency to store magnetic energy). For cables like RG6, the DC resistance is very low, only an ohm or less per hundred feet, while the impedance is 75 ohms. The impedance value of the cable is determined by the outer diameter of the center conductor, the inner diameter of the outer conductor, and electrical properties of the material between the two (the dialectric). For practical purposes, the only thing that really matters is that the impedance of the cable needs to be the same as the impedance of any connectors or adapters and the signal source and destination (load) it is used with. When one of those elements has a different impedance, some of the signal tends to reflect back to the source instead of continuing to the destination. Coaxial cables are generally used when it is important to preserve as much signal as possible between the source and the destination, as in broadcasting, or to protect the signal from external interference. The outer conductor is generally grounded and blocks interference from reaching the inner conductor, which carries the signal.

What type of wire is used for TV's or cable modem?

Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.


Is cable coaxial the same as satellite coaxial?

Most times they are the same but a satellite signal needs to be carried by RG6 cable it is a heavier gauge wire then say RG59. Regular or analog cable signal is sometimes carried by RG59 but digital cable should use RG6. +++ The primary specification is not conductor size but the impedance and capacitance of the cable.

What kind of coax cable do i use rg58 or rg59 or wat type?

The type coax you need depends on the type service you have. For satellite service, we use a higher rated coax cable (RG6) to allow for a higher frequency for channels and back feeding capability. RG59 is a lower rated cable.


What is the difference between 3C2V and RG6 coaxial cable?

When comparing the two of cable, 3C2V has smaller diameter than RG6. RG6 cable can sometime be seen as Quad shield cable. Both these cable can be used in TV signal receiving but RG6 is the most suitable when receiving digital signal such as satellite television and DVB-T.


Which type of cable will have a better quality signal coaxial or composite RCA?

Composite RCA will be better than a coaxial cable (RG6). The order of quality and maximum resolution from best to worst is: HDMI (including HDMI 1.4 3D) DVI Component Video S-Video Composite Coaxial cable


What is the difference between RG59 and RG6 cable?

rg-6 is a video cable that is used in today's new standards used to be rg-59 also called coax cable These cables are made for carrying RF (antenna signals) but can be used for video for short runs.


How do you connect the link cable?

Call your local cable company and say you would like to subscribe to there service. They will hook you up outside. It is either up to you to run cabling inside for hookup or you can have the cable provider do it for an extra fee. Run at least RG6 or RG6 quad coaxial cable inside with compression fittings only. Do not use crimp or screw on types as they tend to degrade and cause signal loss. If you are not that handy then have the cable company do it for you.

What is the function of RG6 cable?

RG6 cable is a coaxial type commonly used for domestic video systems. It is most often used as a feed from an antenna or from a satellite dish to receivers. As well as RF signals, the cable can also be used to carry base band video signals although this is not a common application for this type of cable. There are a number of connectors used with it including F conectors, BNC, RF and UHF types.
