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.
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.
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.
Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.
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.
The most common ones are RG59 and a low loss cable is RG 6,both are 72 0hm for tv sets and antennas.
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.
The maximum distance for running RG59 coaxial cable typically ranges from 300 to 500 feet (about 91 to 152 meters) for video transmission without significant signal loss. However, for optimal performance, especially in high-frequency applications, it's advisable to keep runs under 300 feet. Beyond this distance, the signal may degrade, leading to reduced image quality or interruptions. Always consider the specific application and potential use of signal boosters if longer runs are necessary.
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.
You will need a tool to crimp it properly. I have tried to crimp F connectors without this tool, and it is not worth it. You can get one at your local hardware store for around $20 and it will have detailed instructions on how to use it properly. Also the packaging the F connectors come in usually have instructions on the back.
