  3. RG6 has lower loss but is very rigid and hard to bend. It is best for the long runs(through the wall, and antenna up the side of the house). RG59 is more flexible, especially the foam core, and is best for jumpers (from the wall jack to the TV/Cablebox, or from the cable box to the TV).

  10. 3/10/22. I’m asking this Q eight years after the video, but I’m adding a TV to our system and need to tap into existing RG-59 coaxial cable, and my question is whether the FEMALE side of RG-59, where the copper wire fits into, is the same size for RG-6 as for RG-59? It appears from your video that the two copper wires are different diameters. So thanks to anyone who might be able to reply.

  16. Dude 59 is for security cameras 6 is for television systems they have different impedances due to different geometries for a specific purpose your not even mentioning, you think cost is the reason the two standards exist? Holy cow… it’s like saying Gasoline has more energy and is better quality fuel for my Diesel engine. Dangerously deficient understanding of applications… 🙁

  21. I’m just watching all your videos until you quit using the word mesh and start using the word shielding. Very good, very informative and very clear videos.

  22. 59 was made for RF aplplications, video came along much later. Not really inferior, just the wrong cable.

  23. RG6 vs rg59.. These days, RG6 is copper clad steel, rg59 was always solid copper. case closed, bigger isnt always better. HPNA is usually higher data rate on rg59 because of solid copper.

  30. The old owner has passed a LONG RG59 cable in the wall and it is used to plug in my modem. My connection is very unstable. I’m rewiring the place right now, passing a much shorter RG6 cable. I hope this fixes my issues.

  33. 1 question. If I want to buy rg6 cable is it better to buy higher db or lower db? for example on ebay it says rg6 10m 135db or 120db. Thanks

  36. I was told that old or even weakened coax cable does not effect data, video, or audio transmission over the internet and as long as the internet speeds are within spec then its fine. Is it true that coax cable whether old or new dont matter for the internet quality?

    The reason I am saying this is because I am definitely experiencing a moderate problem where my audio quality seems compressed and thin on everything and anything over the internet that contains audio, allot my bass frequencies are missing and mostly the high frequencies in the 10 – 16 khz range seem like its being cut out in bits and everything sounds quieter than the source. Youtube, pandora, soundcloud, downloadable mp3’s. Everything is sounding really bad at least to me because I spend allot of time producing and mixing music, work with audio for all sorts of things so I am well aware of its overall character and depth and satisfied when its sounding the way it was initially produced and etc. I now know the coax in this place is all rg59 and that the thin copper wire is mostly part of the cause of this audio degredation, also experiencing visual degradation but am certain the two problems are tied together. I have tested my devices in other places, even mobile data on my phone gives me a better stronger signal with better quality.. I am sensing that velocity or speed is not the problem but power and bandwidth is the problem.. Just because its running fast doesnt mean its better, my tech told me that I dont need new coax cable that the old coax is fine and I know hes wrong I just want to get a better understanding into the science of this subject matter because its important for people who create and share content and im sure others want there content that they created or share to look and sound exactly the way it was intended or initially created. So how exactly can the coax effect data over the internet?

  39. RG59 does fine to connect tunable amplified FM/TV antennas, here…

    Or simple rabbit ears

    Goes around corners

    Behind furniture…

    Wherever…

    And it’s FREE!

    Or cheap, in the thrift stores…

  41. obviously, the RG6 is a far better cable. but if you’re using it for CCTV camera they’re harder to use due to its flexibility in corners.
    most people use the RG59 for CCTV camera’s (which has become a really demanding product.)
    I "m about to do a new installation of CCTV cameras in a really hot weather area NV. would you recommend using an RG6 and a separate power cable for CCTV cameras?

  42. But theres one big problem with rg6 vs rg59….rg6 develops connectivity issues to be more specific "shorts" rg6 ages and the core gets brittle and breaks even if its in a conduit and never moves rg59 stays flexible
