What size is the cable. rg8 or rg58?

It appears to be RG8. Mine isn't really marked.... going by the diameter being the same as some RG8 I have. It's not that long, so you really do not have to worry about the loss.

RG8 is 1/2 inch +- diameter. The coax for this antenna mount would be rg 58

I'm not sure. It is rated at 50 ohms. It is compatible with RG 8 u is a little thicker than RG58 u-by about a couple of centimeters. You have to trim the outer insulation or drill the adapter for the 259 coupler. Hope this helps. It is good on 10 & 11 meter.

Wrong gender. I think the SM58 has male termination, and so does this cable. I use this cable to output sound to a mixer.

Yes, use the 568B. 568A is an older standard. You always want to match your patch panel, Cat5 jacks, and patch cables. In this case 568B.

Shaylen @ Mediabridge (800)-956-8898 says it is RG6 and the impedence is 75 Ohms. Good luck.

Hi, as far as I know it's a 3.5mm cable and it fits perfectly with what I needed it for. Hope that info helped.

I forgot to say a Wilson Electronic support person told me to replace the RG8 cable which comes with the kits to RG11. I bought one 50 foot RG11 cable (and a lightening suppressor I connected to a ground wire) and my reception was hugely improved. 20KB/s went to 200 KB/s or better.

5/32 is what needs to be used. 1/8 could work, but would not count on it. I had to really tighten the nuts down to grab good on the 5/32 cable.

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.

Here you go (if you haven't bought one already): MPD Digital smaF/pl259f SMA Female to UHF SO239 PL259 Female RG58 Adapter Cable, 3-feetExact setup that I have and it worked great (until it got taken out by a branch. Upgrading to a flexible antenna now).

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.

I used "Mediabridge Coaxial Digital Audio Video Cable - (50 Feet) - Triple Shielded, F-Pin to F-Pin with Easy Grip Connector Caps" from Amazon. This is RG-6. Works like a charm.

NO... Don't forget you need at least 18' (not shorter, but can be longer) of RG-58U to make this work, it is a requrement of the antenna system to make it work properly. The coax is part of this antenna system design.

It has a SO-239 connector so it will accept any cable terminated with a PL-259 connector. RG-8X is a pretty good choice for this application.

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.
