Talk:RG-59

message: To whom it may concern,
Our company is experiencing trouble on the cameras installed in the elevators. We are using RG-58 & RG-59 cables. The said cables are frequently cut thus the cameras send no signal to the system, thereby, making the cameras unreliable.
Please tell me the right cables to be used for the elevator.
Thank.
Michael

message: what is the dB per 100m loss ? at 100MHz ? etc etc because the minimum information required is Impedance (in Ohms) and Loss (dB per length at frequency). without this information (BOTH bits) everything else is waffle  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.149.44.21 (talk) 14:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know much about this stuff, but I do know that RG59 is slightly smaller than RG6. You say it refers to the page number of an obsolete book, well I think you may be wrong. I believe it actually refers to the size, I reason this by simple logic. If I am wrong, well then I am, but at least my logic is based on fact that can be checked out. Not on some obsolete book that no one can check. I guess I won't be looking to Wiki for answers anymore, I just can't trust the info.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.152.240 (talk) 15:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The numbers do not refer to size, they were assigned sequentially as new types were given military specification nomenclature. The term Radio Guide did not refer to a book, but rather items used to carry radio frequency energy, such as military coaxial cable. (talk) 18:17, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I recently bought a large villa which has RG59/U cabling for the CCTV. The longest cable run is about 100 meters. I've just upgraded the CCTV system to 1080p HD and was surprised to see the specification for the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) was that it supports up to 4K resolution over RG59/U and up to to 1000 metres of RG59/U cable run. 
I then looked at this Wikipedia article for more information and was shocked to see that it mentions only "short" cable runs and standard definition video. 
This article is utterly out of date and needs updating. I'm not technical so can't help with the update unfortunately, but wanted to flag this issue. Savlonn (talk) 19:11, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
