I was wondering about BUILDING a COAX network cable.  I have a tv cable that had its rf connector break off.  I just wondered if these arent
all RG-59 or if there something else. Actually, RG-6 has become more common than RG-59, but they need different connectors.  Even RG-59 has several different sizes of connectors DEPENDING on the type of shielding.I need to have one as a backup for my server.  I wanted too PUT bnc connectors on it really.BNC is a better connector but depending on the make and model it can be much more difficult to put on.just wanted too know wether or not there was a way too tell if its rg-59 cable thoughRG-59 coaxial cable is COMMONLY packed with consumer equipment, such as VCRs  or digital cable/satellite receivers. Manufacturers tend to include only RG-59 cables because it costs less than RG-6 does. However, given the short lengths provided (usually 4-6 feet / 1.2-1.8 m), this is generally sufficient for its typical use.

Its enough for a backup connection.  Probably will just be one cable though from the old server
