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.

What is the velocity factor of rg59 COAX?

The velocity factor of RG59 COAX is typically around 66% to 67%. This means that signals travel through RG59 COAX at about 66% to 67% of the speed of light in a vacuum.


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 is the maximum distance for rg6 coax?

For use in networks the maximum segment length would be 500 meters


What is maximum length of RG 59 coax?

750 feet (228 m)


What is the maximum distance coax can be ran for ethernet use?

Depends on the coax type - thinnet coax is 185 meters per segment, thicknet is 500 meters


What is the maximum length for BNC cable?

The BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman) connectoris a very common type of RF connector used for terminating coaxial cable.There is no predetemined maximum length for the coax cable. The maximum length of cable is going to be governed by determining the input signal level, the minimum output signal level, and the signal loss based on the length of the cable between the input and minimum output.


Maximum effective range of the coax machine gun is approximately?

Depending on WHICH coax MG, anywhere from 900-1100 meters.


What is the max cable length for HD satellite dish to receiver?

What is the maximum speed that can be achieved using a coax cable for internet connectivity?

The maximum speed that can be achieved using a coax cable for internet connectivity is typically around 1 Gbps (gigabit per second).


How does coaxial cable works and what are the benefits?

A coax works best when it is cut to the right length for a particular frequency. there many coax cables designed for a certain impedance BUT that is only true if cut at the right length.


What is the maximum length for RG11 coax cable before significant degradation of signal?

The maximum length for RG11 coax cable before significant signal degradation typically ranges up to 500 feet (about 152 meters) for standard applications. Beyond this distance, attenuation increases, leading to a noticeable loss in signal quality. For optimal performance, it's often recommended to keep the length under 300 feet (about 91 meters) when possible, especially for high-frequency signals. Additionally, the specific application and frequency can also influence the effective distance.


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.
