Intalling an F connector

If you want the right tool for the job, you can get adjustale scutters that will prevent any nicking in the cables and lower the chance of any impedance mis-match.

I use Belden 1694A for everything. It's an RG-6 cable rated up to 4.5 GHz. I use it for video, RF, and satellite. It's low loss, and passes full uncompressed HD video with room to spare. It's durable and U/V protected, and comes in many decorator colors!

Hi.... I'm using RG-59 cable for cameras CCTV. Is this cable okay to use? What cable do you recommend using?

[MorkaGraven]

@123medioerror For TV you use 75ohm cable, for radio 50ohm. If it's just a composite video input you're running, I'm not sure.

Awesome info for the novice (like me, who's too cheap to buy a jacket stripper). Thank you!

$8 to $10 coax stripping tool at homedepot, lowes, and radioshack. Does a perfect job every time and does not score the center conductor and destory the brade, fittings go right on. (dont use RG-59 fitting on RG-6 wire, in fact dont ever used RG-59 for anything).

This guy is using RG-6 which is good.

Crimp and screw on fittings are bad in high freaquency signals.

a signal at 2000MHz travels on the outer part of the white area, and signals around 100MHz travle on the center conductor.

thanks for the info
