What is rg-59?

RG-59 is a type of coaxial cable that is commonly used for various applications, such as cable television, satellite TV, and security camera systems. It has a copper center conductor surrounded by a dielectric insulating material, a braided shield, and an outer jacket. RG-59 cables are typically thinner and more flexible than RG-6 cables, making them easier to install in tight spaces. The impedance of RG-59 cable is typically 75 ohms, which is suitable for most audio and video applications. RG-59 cables are available in various lengths and can be easily terminated with BNC or F-type connectors.
