What is RG 59u?

What is RG 59u?

RG-59/U is a specific type of coaxial cable, often used for low-power video and RF signal connections. The cable has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, and a capacitance of around 20pF/ft (60pF/m). RG-59 coaxial cable is commonly packed with consumer equipment, such as VCRs or digital cable/satellite receivers.

What is RG58 cable used for?

RG58 cable is ideal for high-frequency signal transmission. It is also suitable for use in antennas and broadcasting equipment.

What is the difference between RG6 and RG59 coax cable?

RG6 cable is heavier gauge and has insulation and shielding tuned for high-bandwidth, high-frequency applications such as Internet, Cable TV, and Satellite TV signals. RG59 cable is thinner and is recommended in low bandwidth and lower frequency applications such as analog video and CCTV installations.

Can I use RG6 connector on RG59?

Please do not use RG6 fittings on RG59 cable, they are differing sizes.

Can I use RG6 instead of RG58?

RE: RG6 versus RG58 This shows that RG6 is good for 2x the distance of RG58. As for the maximum distance that any coax is good for, it depends upon how much loss you can tolerate and how much noise pickup will happen.

What is the difference between RG58 and RG8X?

RG8 is a thicker 50 ohm cable, at 12 AWG, that can provide a stronger signal than RG58. There is also a version called RG8X, which is thinner at 16 AWG but provides similar signal quality.

Can I mix RG59 and RG6?

That’s fine. RG59 has a little higher loss than does RG6 (~1.5dB/100’@1000MHz), so unless you’re talking significant lengths, you should have no problem.
