FAQs

What is the difference between RG6 and RG59 coaxial cable?

RG6 coaxial cable has thicker shielding and lower signal loss, making it ideal for longer cable runs, satellite installations, and high-frequency applications. RG59 is thinner with higher signal loss over distance but works well for short runs under 15 meters, particularly for CCTV and basic antenna connections. Most modern TV antenna and satellite installations use RG6 for superior performance.

Can I use coaxial cable for CCTV camera installations?

Yes, coaxial cable is commonly used for analogue CCTV systems and HD-over-coax camera installations. RG59 works for shorter camera runs, while RG6 is recommended for longer distances or when future-proofing installations. For IP camera systems, consider CAT6 data cable instead.

What does quad shield coaxial cable mean?

Quad shield coaxial cable features four layers of shielding (typically two foil layers and two braided layers) compared to dual shield versions with two layers. This extra shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference, making quad shield ideal for areas with high electrical noise, long cable runs, or installations near power cables.

How do I choose the right coaxial cable for TV antenna installations?

For standard residential TV antenna installations, RG6 quad shield coaxial cable is the industry standard in Australia. Choose cable length to minimize excess while avoiding tight bends. For commercial installations or apartment buildings with longer distribution runs, consider compression fittings and premium low-loss RG6 cable to maintain signal quality throughout the system.

Do you stock outdoor-rated coaxial cable?

Yes, our coaxial cable range includes UV-resistant options suitable for outdoor installations and exposed cable runs. Check product specifications or contact our team to ensure you select cable appropriate for direct sunlight exposure and Australian weather conditions.
