While zipping around the Internet, I came across an article that discusses coaxial cable.

As I read the article, I began to wonder about some of the things stated by the author.

For instance, the author refers to coaxial cable having a copper center conductor. My understanding is that the most commonly used coaxial cable is copper coated steel. Solid copper would be used primarily for satellite installations.

For connectors, twist and crimp connectors are mentioned, but, not compression.

RG11 is mentioned, but, that type of cable wouldn't be common in residential installations.

There are some other things stated that I'm not too sure about.

Here is the link to the article....
