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.

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.

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.

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.
