Best Digital Coaxial Cables Buying Guide
Before choosing the best digital coaxial cable you should consider following options:
1. Gauge: The gauge of a cable is a measure of its diameter. The thicker the cable, the stronger it is. Thicker cables are ideal for in-wall installation.
2. Cable Types: Coaxial cable comes in two main types: RG6 and RG59. RG6 is stronger and has a thicker outer jacket than RG59.
3. Applications: The type of cable you use will depend on the application. RG6 cable is ideal for in-home or commercial applications, whereas RG59 is ideal for cable runs up to 300 feet.
4. Indoor/Outdoor: Indoor cables are usually RG6 and can be buried in walls or run along the ceiling. Outdoor cables are usually RG59 and are more weatherproof.
5. Cable Length: The maximum length of a cable run is determined by the gauge and type of cable, as well as the frequency of the signal being transmitted.
Here is a breakdown of maximum lengths according to gauge:
RG6/8 cable: 2500 feet
RG59 cable: 1000 feet
6. Frequency: The frequency of a signal refers to the rate at which the wave is transmitted. A higher frequency signal results in a stronger and clearer picture.
7. Standard: There are two types of standard for coaxial cable: standard and slim. Standard cables have thicker jackets, making them ideal for in-wall installation, whereas slim cables are perfect for concealed runs.
8. Connector Types: Connector types vary according to the application. Screw-on or push-on connectors are ideal for in-wall installation, whereas connectors with caps are best for concealed runs.
9. Shield: The shield of a cable refers to the outer layer that protects the core from interference. In order to prevent signal degradation, it is essential to get a cable with a good shield.
A cable with a foil and braid shield is the most effective.
