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 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.

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.
