C5782.18.01 Datasheet

It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is “better” than RG While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is a larger cable than RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular frequencies. For example, at 100 MHz, General Cable’s Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of db/100'. A similar construction Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value loss at 100 MHz frequency of db/100'. This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run.
