Product Description
RG59 is a standard 75-ohm coaxial cable widely used in video and data transmission applications. Unlike the 50-ohm RG58 (used for RF), RG59 is designed specifically for low-frequency signals such as analog video, CCTV, and broadband internet.
It features a smaller center conductor than RG6, which makes it more flexible and easier to route through walls and tight spaces, but it has higher signal attenuation at higher frequencies. It is the standard choice for traditional CCTV systems and short-distance video connections.

Physical Characteristics
- Nominal OD (Outer Diameter): 6.15 mm (0.242 inches)
- Bending Radius: 50 mm (2 inches) static; 100 mm (4 inches) dynamic.
- Flexibility: Highly flexible due to the smaller conductor size and PVC jacket, making it ideal for internal wiring and tight bends.
Common Connector Types
RG59 cable is most commonly terminated with the following connectors:
- BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman): The standard connector for CCTV cameras, video monitors, and test equipment.
- F-Type: Used for older CATV (Cable TV) installations and some satellite receivers.
- RCA (Phono): Common for home audio/video equipment (DVD players, VCRs).
Key Features
- 75-Ohm Impedance: Optimized for video bandwidth, ensuring compatibility with standard video equipment and minimizing signal reflections in video lines.
- Cost-Effective: A very economical solution for low-frequency video and data transmission.
- High Flexibility: Easier to handle and install than the thicker RG6 cable, especially in residential or retrofit installations.
- Standardized Shielding: The 90% braided shield provides adequate protection against interference for standard video applications.
Applications
- CCTV Systems: The most common use for RG59 is connecting security cameras to Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
- Analog Video: Used for distributing composite video signals in home theaters or commercial AV setups.
- CATV & Broadband: Historically used for cable TV and internet modems (though RG6 is now preferred for higher speeds).
- Intercom Systems: Used in some wired intercom and paging systems.
Important Note
RG59 vs. RG6: While RG59 is cheaper and more flexible, it suffers from higher signal loss at higher frequencies (above 500 MHz). For HDTV, Satellite TV, or High-Speed Internet, RG6 is the recommended cable. RG59 should generally be limited to runs under 30-50 meters for video signals to avoid quality degradation.
