coaxial cable types

Coaxial cables are special wires used to help transmit signals, such as the kind that connects your TV to your cable box. Coaxial Cable Types--There are several different types of coaxial cable and similar cable, and each has its own features. It’s time to see how the various types of coaxial cable stack up!

Companies make coax cables of different sizes and shapes, and they are designed for certain jobs. Some of the most popular types are RG6, RG59, and RG11. These cables vary in thickness, shielding and how much signal they can carry. Selecting the correct coaxial cable is crucial to ensuring your devices function properly and receive a signal.

Comparing RG6 and RG59 coaxial cables

Two common types of coaxial cables many people use in their homes are RG6 and RG59. RG6 is thicker and can transmit higher frequencies, so it’s perfect for high-definition TV and internet signals. RG59 is smaller and better suited for lower frequency signals, such as most ordinary cable TV. Try to consider what kind of signal you want and how far the signal will travel when deciding between RG6 and RG59.

Choose the best coaxial cable for your home entertainment system Like most homeowners, you’re interested in making sure your home theater or entertainment system has the best equipment. If you’re using the TV to connect to a cable box or satellite dish, RG6 is preferable for its clear signal. If it’s a shorter run or you work with regular cable TV, RG59 might be sufficient. When choosing the right coaxial cable, consider how your home is set up and which devices you will need to connect.
