Coax cable

Used these for my cable to connect RV to campground coax. Quick on and off and lasts a long time.

That connector is for RG59 cable which is not good for either Sat or cable, it is the OLD standard.

If you're "rollin' yer own" connector installations, I'll pass a remark by Chris Bryant along:

Have a Cable Stripper that does NOT Ring or Ding the plating on the center conductor. That solid strand in the middle. Chris says the signal actually travels on the surface of that conductor, and it loses signal if damaged.

As mentioned before RG6 cable and compression fittings! When I was adding new cable outlets to the DD townhouse I bought a 500' roll of RG6 and a compression fitting install kit, it included some fittings a good stripper, and the tool to install the fittings.

This is the kit that I got and will carry for a long time.

RG 6 for all RV connection would be first choice. As noted in previous post the compression fittings are preferred. Avoid the crimp style!

Are you connecting to RV park cable or to a portable satellite dish. For both, I'd suggest an RG6 coax with compression fittings. Satellite dish coax may call for a higher frequency standard coax than a cable connection though.
