RG-59
Encyclopedia : R : RG : RG5 : RG-59
RG-59/U is a specific type of coaxial cable, often used for low-power video and RF signal connections. The cable has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms.
It can be used at baseband video frequencies or, for short distances, at broadcast frequencies. Its high-frequency losses are too great to allow its use over long distances at broadcast frequencies; in these applications, RG-6 is used instead.
