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 does coax mean?
To persuade or encourage.Coax a horse to drink. Try to get a horse to drink.Best used by saying "coaxed into" or, well yeah, you get the point.Like this: "Can I coax you into drinking from this cup?""The coach coaxed me into joining the team"Are you speaking of coax, or COAX, as in coaxial cable? If so, a coaxial cable is a cable with a single central conductor surrounded by an insulator, finally surrounded by a cylindrical shield of fine wire.A coax carries high frequency signals (eg radio, video) and the woven outer wire shield is usually grounded to reduce interference.Most commonly, two types of coax are used in LANs: 50 ohm RG58, for digital signalling, and 75 ohm RG59, for analog and high-speed digital signalling.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
Can you use a standered AV cable with yellow red and white to carry a component video signal through YPbPr?
Yes you can, but the cable isn't really right for video signals. Even the composite video signal that is normally carried by one of the three cables suffers over a long length. The best thing to do is to plug it in and try it. If vertical edges on the image appear slightly smeared, it may well be down to the cable and a new cable is called for. Have no worries - you won't damage anything by using the cable. The right cable to use, if you have a choice is 75 ohm coax. RG59 and URM70 cables will do the job although there are many others with higher spec (and price) that you can choose from. If you have to buy a pre-terminated cable, then choose the fattest cable you can find. It's not a scientific way of choosing the cable, but the diameter is normally an indicator of the quality of cable.
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.
