Hey, Merritt:

This is a VERY old topic started nearly two years ago. A new person just stumbled upon it and made a recent post.

On another note: RG6 cable has a much larger dielectric insulator than RG59. Even larger again than RG58, in fact I think that RG58's entire cable can just about pass through the hole in an RG6 connector. I don't think going with an RG6 connector on RG59 would have been an option without a shoe horn!

He needed F59 connectors, but that's all over now. F56 connectors would have been fine for most RG6 cable and who knows what to use for the RG58 mentioned in this thread? That stuff is terminated with just about any kind of connector!
