Will the included connectors work for rg-59 coax cable?

They specify RG6 .... Not sure if it's compatible with RG59. RG6 is the most commonly used type of coax for CATV and SAT TV installations.

Rg8u or rg8x will work. I don't see why rg58u would not work.it is 50 ohm and can handle relatively high wattage. Also you might check on I think it is 213 or 218 coax. A lot of the radio operators here use it.

As the others said, yes. I have a Wilson Sleek with the outlet for the antenna coax cable to plug into. :)

Yes, but if you want even less loss, use RG6 as I did. You might as well get the best bang for the buck if your running cable. You will need specific RG6 connectors for the ends of the cable.

Ran is dead wrong about needing the "n" connector, the "N" connector is a totally different connector than on the DT504--you need a standard TV three to six foot RG-6 0r RG-59 coax with the screw=on "F" connector and I bet you already have one around the house.

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.

I purchased this cable hoping to resolve a similar problem. It didn't work because the coaxial connector is not like the ones we've used for decades to hook up TV's. The coaxial connector on this cable is "fat" and has 19 pins.

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

Yes. Every time you split a Coax cable, you will lose a given amount of signal strength, measured in dB. Also, the longer a cable is, the more signal loss can result. For a typical RG6 cables longer than 200ft, it's recommended to increase the quality to an RG7 cable (same when running ~100ft of RG5, go to RG6). Generally, you would want your Cable Modem for Internet on the strongest signal, as cable boxes can amplify the signal they receive.

no, but if your old rg 59 fitting needs replacing for any reason you can't use rg-6 fittings on the rg-59 cable. go to radio shack and pick them up. I have a 1990 airstream with the old size cable. It worked fine but my fitting was messed up. Also you will have to change the booster inside the trailer. It's tuned to the old antenna and it will need to be replaced with the new one.

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.

It is for multi strand phone cable.... so it will not work with shielded coax.

This antenna comes with 50' of RG6 coaxial cable. It has F connectors at each end plus an F to BNC adapter. Hope that answers your question!

I don't think rg56 exists. The picture is of a rg6 connector but the description states otherwise. But when you talk about rg 59 vs rg6, rg6 is thicker hence rg59 plugs won't really fit into rg6 cables. Rg6 is used for cable coax connections and has higher bandwidth. Rg59 is used for video camera wires.

No RG59 is fine. My husband is a low voltage tech and says you should be good to go!

Antenna has connector with it to convert RG59 to what us required by sirius receiver
