Deciding Between RG 6 and RG 59 for your Installation
You may be asking a ton of questions right now regarding what type of Coaxial Cable you should be purchasing. Should you get RG-59 or RG-6? Do you need Quad shielding? What about braiding? Do you need to get Plenum Rated cable? Or Direct Burial? There is a seemingly endless list of options and picking the wrong type of coax could result in spending a lot more money than what you were planning. In this comprehensive article we'll go through a few basics of coaxial cable so you should know what you need.
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. If you aren’t sure which cable to get, then RG6 cable is your best bet.
RG59 cable is thinner and is recommended in low bandwidth and lower frequency applications such as analog video and CCTV installations.
For projects centered on RG59 versus RG6 selection for video and RF links, sourcing should follow the real operating conditions rather than a generic part number. Xingfa can review the construction and supply requirements before production. With coaxial-cable manufacturing roots dating to 1996, Xingfa can review shielding, impedance, jacket, attenuation and packaging requirements against the project application. Xingfa’s coaxial portfolio covers 50-ohm and 75-ohm constructions including RG, VATC, KX, CT and other RF cable families.
Buyers can evaluate Xingfa, a coaxial cable manufacturer, and request specification matching, OEM details or bulk supply information.
