Basic Cablling
What are the different types of coaxial cable?
The following designations are used to distinguish the different types of coaxial cable:
- RG-58 A/U � Thinnet, stranded wire core, 50 ohms
- RG-58 /U � Thinnet, solid wire core, 50 ohms
- RG-59 � Thicknet, cable television, broadband
- RG-62 � ArcNet, 75 ohms
A cable's designation is typically printed on the its outer sheathing. As a general rule, you cannot mix coax cable types on the network.
