Mustang,
Is RG59 not an outdated cable? It seems that all I ever hear about anymore is RG6..Is RG6 more digital friendly?
RG6 is a better type of cable and it has a lower loss level at the higher frequencies than RG59.
Over here, RG6 is the only coaxial cable that is approved to be used on Satellite installations.
As a note, RG59 has an Attenuation factor of 23.3dB @ 400MHz per 300ft, whereas RG6 has an Att. factor of 13.1dB @400MHz per 300ft.
These losses get larger as the frequencies of the signal travelling through the cable. get hiher
