You will need a tool to crimp it properly. I have tried to crimp F connectors without this tool, and it is not worth it. You can get one at your local hardware store for around $20 and it will have detailed instructions on how to use it properly. Also the packaging the F connectors come in usually have instructions on the back.

What type of wire is used for TV's or cable modem?
Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.
Is RG59 Coaxial Cable compatible with RG6 Coaxial Cable?
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.
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.
Will RG59 cable work for cable HD signal will 6 way splitter for normal cable work for HD cable?
Your first question, yes. Second question, no.
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 type of clamps used for armor cable?
The most common ones are RG59 and a low loss cable is RG 6,both are 72 0hm for tv sets and antennas.
Can you use RG 59 on digital TV?
If the interface requires a co-ax cable, then RG59 is perfectly acceptable for video signals. It is not the best choice for arial or satellite feeds. RG59 suffers from high losses and therefore, will not be the right choice for a long run carrying HD signals. If the cable length is more than a few feet, it is probably wise to invest in something with a lower loss if HD is used now or will be in the future.
HOW MANYdBuVm in 75ohms?
The signal loss in a RG59 75 ohm coaxial cable should be of no concern unless you are running over a couple hundred feet. In that case use RG 6.
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 join a cut rg59 cable?
If it's indoors you would go to the local electronics store (i.e. radio-shack) And pick up two RG-59 cable ends and a barrel connector (sometimes called a coupling) Just put an end on each piece of cable, they will come with instructions, and then screw them together with the barrel. You can also use wire nuts but it may cut down on the quality of the signal. Just strip off some of the outer sheath, and then a bit of the inner sheath. Twist the center copper wires together, and then twist the outer shield (silver mesh) together making sure that the copper wires don't touch the silver. If they do touch it won't do any harm, but it won't work.
What is ds3?
A DS3 is a telecommunications circuit capable of transmitting and receiving 45 Mbps at the same time. A DS3 is generally delivered using an OC3 or higher capacity circuit then is muxed out to a DS3. A DS3 hands off as two 75Ohm coax cables.DS3 Cable Type734 Cable = 450 Feet (137.2M) RG59 Cable = 340 Feet (103.6M) 735 Cable = 225 Feet (68.8M) You can order this type of service from Intelletrace.com 415-493-2200
What is maximum length of RG-59 coax?
RG59 is a video standard co-axial cable and is normally sold as an economy cable. Losses on this type of cable tend to be higher than more expensive cable. A standard definition signal can be run in excess of 300 feet before losses are noticed but the signal quality relies not only on the cable but also the signal driver (the source) and the receiver (the display). If the source or receiver are not properly designed, there may be a tendency to show a ghost image appearing to the right of the original image. For analog high definition signals (extremely rare today) the maximum distance will be much lower, perhaps in the region of 40 to 50 feet. If the application will be supporting HD signals, RG59 is probably not the best choice. Invest a little more and look for cables that have lower losses - PSF1/3, for example, is more expensive but also more effective.
