Will these work on RG59 cable also? Any instructions for the trimming of cable to use these?

No, these connectors are sized for RG6 regular/quad cables. You can buy connectors for RG59. There is a specific procedure (and set of measurements) to correctly strip the coax and attach a compression connector. An online search will provide you with detailed instructions. Also, the correct tools are a must. If I recall DataShark has a reasonably priced kit.

NO! You will have a bad contact on the shielding and thereby degrade your signal! TRS are great connectors but they are sized internally to make a consistently solid contact with the specific wire size. RG-59 has a smaller center core wire (0.81mm) than RG-6 (1.0mm) and most importantly for the connector size is the core dielectric and outer shealth size as they are different between RG-6 and RG-59 as the 75 Ohm resistance is made by the ratios of the dielectric vs the copper core wire. Do not use these on RG-59, you will be creating headaches for yourself very soon afterword!

Yes, they will work on RG59, but you should use to RG6 if you can; better for digital signal now or in the future. Use a universal cutter / stripping tool for trimming cable. However, please note that the conventional compression tool will not work with this style of connector. You will need to purchase the Snap-N-Seal tool F as they state in the Product Description.

Unless you can't install or replace with RG6, I wouldn't use RG59 for anything other than OTA antenna. RG6 has 18AWG copper wire while RG59 has a thinner wire, so for cable TV and/or TV/internet/internet streaming, I would avoid RG59 to avoid a potential weak link if you had to trouble shoot your home network.

No these will not work on RG59 cable. The center insulation of RG59 cable is a smaller diameter and it will slip right thru the center of the RG6 connector. Also, I use a Data Shark Cutter/Stripper to get the proper trim on the cable..it is worth the cost, rather than trimming the cable by hand.

yes, this is the correct cable. They are new.They are quite uncomfortable and weigh

Just one thing to think about. Be sure that the length of these cables is the length you require to do the job. I didn't do that and find these cables were shorter that I really needed. I ended up hooking these two end-to-end to make one replacement for a longer cable that I messed up and had to replace.

Yes, the signal loss is less than that of RG6 or RG59. This is the same cable that my CATV installer used for a 250' run to my house.

No, they shouldn't, if your old wires are "RG-6" type. These connectors are ONLY for RG-6 cable, which is designated on the jacket of the cable.

I never had a cable fail to work perform properly with a standard crimper. 1) Insert wires through 2) cut flush with utility knife 3) pull back wire 1/64" 4) crimp. I don't buy these for speed. I buy them because I can verify the wire order so much easier. BTW I have not used these with Cat6 yet.

Yes. You will need a longer piece of cable. RG6 cable is recommended. the R59 cable is to thin.

As a rule of thumb (contrary to popular belief) RG59 CAN be used for lengths up to around 125'. RG6 can be used for lengths up to 200' and RG11 to lengths of 400'. These do assume a solid copper center conductor, and at least 60% braid on the shield to reduce the resistance in the wire (Ohms Law). The lower the quality of coax cable and connector - the shorter the run may be. The bottom line is that the LNB receive at least 13Volts for Odd Transponders, and ~15/16V for Even.

Yes, they will work. Read instructions very close because they confused me a little.

I just used rg6 connectors and it worked fine. I have since bought the new type of connectors that the cable guys use but haven't use any yet.

It works nicely on all RG59 and RG6 that I have used it on. I don't think the wire size of the center conductor is a factor at all.

i used them only on quad shielded cable with remarkable results. for price, amount, and quality you will be happy!

I have them for my cable box and blueray player. The was a change from 6ft cables and cannot tell any difference. Note that we are not game players. The TV size is 55"

There is no indication it is RG59 although they are much larger than the shorter cables. They have BNC connectors on the ends. Very good cable.

I don't know. There are a couple of things I can say about these cables. They are not as flexible as I would like and They fit much too snug on the inputs of delicate devices. I would NOT buy these cables again.

I don't know of the connector you are talking about, but I do not recommend this tool for RG59, they disappointed for a klein product.
