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.
RG-59/U and RG-60/U
I am not certain on T-90 my tv installer said to use rg 59 i am not certain why.
RG-59 or RG-6. RG is an old military term that stands for Radio Grade. They are both 75 ohm cables which is what is required for video.
I am desperately seeking the assistance of anyone who can help me tune my satellite TV to Aussat 3 for Hindi reception. I have already set up Use our national database to find a local technician who can help you. ... Not all RG-59 can be used for a satellite dish installation, but there is good RG-59 that
The best size is RG 6 coax. However for short runs RG 59 will work.
The most common ones are RG 59 and a low loss cable is RG 6, both are 72 ohm for TV sets and antennas.
In northAmerica all coaxial connections made to a television are made with 75 Ohm coax. Typical sizes will be RG-59, RG-6 or maybe RG-11 (less common).
RG-6 Quad
Yes. Coaxial cable is the preferred method for carrying the signal. The important factor is the frequency of the signal that is being carried by the cable. Most coaxial cable that you will want for carrying your signal will be RG-6. This will handle signals for radio, television, and satellite receivers. It is not important whether it is an analog or digital program. Some manufacturers use a deceptive advertising technique and will emphasize that their cable is for digital signals. They want you to think that another competing product that does not make a claim to be for a digital signal is not suited for digital. The cable doesn't know the difference between a digital or an analog radio frequency signal. It handles both of them in exactly the same manner. Some important specifications to consider when selecting a coaxial cable are: -Bandwidth (what frequencies can it carry) -Attenuation (how well does it carry the signal without weakening it) -Impedance (proper impedance matching helps to carry the signal - most cable will be 75 ohm and will need to be used for 75 ohm equipment, 50 ohm cable for 50 ohm equipment) Don't use a long cable when a short one will do. A longer cable attenuates (weakens) the signal more. RG-59 can be used for short distances, but RG-6 is a much better choice. RG-59 is not a good choice for HDTV or satellite signals, but it can be used for connecting a VCR to a television.
Your best bet is RG-56 cable. Mainly because of the bandpass characteristics and less capacitance and resistance per foot (loss) as compared to RG-59. Be sure that you also use a cable that has a higher amount of shielding to prevent interference from outside radio frequency sources, such as light dimmers and local transmitters.
Look for cables with the most shielding. The shielding in coaxial cable can be from a little to almost 100 percent. The better cables will have the most shielding.
That is a description of an ordinary "coaxial cable". There are designators for various specific coaxial cables such as RG-58 and RG-59. See the link for more. Sounds like shielded RG-58 or RG-59 used respectively as listed above for cable TV or RG-59 for satellite TV. If the cable is as large as a human average finger it could be shielded 2-way radio cable which usually is run from the base station to the outside antenna.
