Can you hookup coax cable to cat 5e cable for tv hookup?

Very likely, but you might encounter issues. The cables will certainly connect up properly. However, a CAT 5 coupler is not rated for CAT 6 speeds and may introduce more noise. Noise translates into corrupted data packets, which might be noticeable as a slower connection (as those corrupted packets need to be retransmitted).If I were inspecting a contractor's work at, say, my workplace, this would definitely not pass muster. (They'd better have a darn good reason for even putting in a CAT 6 coupler!) Bad installations can result in problems which are more expensive to fix later on.That said, I've been using a CAT 5 coupler to connect two CAT 6 segments on my gigabit Ethernet home network for over a year (because I've been too lazy to actually replace the cable run) without any problems, including streaming HD videos from one room to another.


What is the maximum distance a Thinnet coax network cable can run?

coax is 200 meter maximum ,if you want more than 200 meter(video transmission) you can even use cat 5 cable with video transmitter and receiver adapters and it will be the cheap and best way. futronicservices@gmail.com

What is a cat 5 cable and why is it used?

Cat-5 cable, sometimes called Ethernet cable, is short for Category 5 cable, a current industry standard for network and telephone wiring. Cat-5 cable is unshielded wire containing four pairs of 24-gauge twisted copper pairs, terminating in an RJ-45 jack. If a wire is certified as Cat-5 and not just a twisted pair wire, it will have "Cat-5" printed on the shielding.


What is a Cat 5?

It's short for "category five", which is a type of cabling. The "Cat 5" part refers to the technical specifications of the cable, such as the bandwidth. Cat 5 cable is (usually) unshielded twisted-pair.
