Re: [Equip] Which type of coax to buy to run from STB to television ?

Most of the RG-59 cables that I have come across only have a single braided shield, unlike all the RG-6 ones that I have, that are at least double-shielded (foil-braid), with most of them being the "QS" quad-shielded (foil-braid-foil-braid) variety.

... But yes, the Series 59 cable they sell at your local hardware store just may be copper-braid.

Or maybe as good as foil+60%-coverage-braid, like this one at the local Ace Hardware store?

But how is the connector quality?

How long of a jumper do you need from the wall to the stb?

For wall to STB, I'm guess-timating about 8 or 9 feet. Ten (10) feet, max.

There's a fairly large distance between the STB and TV and I have naughty cats so using audio/video cables now doesn't seem like a great idea. (I'm going to give that a try for the LR set later, 'tho.)

My head hurts from everyone's great, technical info -- thanks. I plan to buy the coax online (preferably Amazon). Would y'all kindly consider giving me a link or selection on just WHAT coax to buy -- especially for the bit going from the wall outlet to the STB, please. Or send me a PM ? Like I posted -- I have a PhD in Klutzery.
