What is the difference between RG59, RG6 and RG11 Coaxial Cables?

The ‘RG’ acronyms are referred to ‘Radio Grade’ coaxial cabling is the cables that are commonly used for video and satellites installations. There are many kinds of cables to suit different applications, among which are the RG59, RG6 and RG 11 and the below is the comparison amongst them.

RG 59	RG 6	RG 11
Characteristic impedance is 75 Ohm Frequency range shall be up to 2150MHz. Center diameter having smaller diameter than RG 6 Higher attenuation (signal loss) than RG 6 The capacitance of the cable or ability of the cable to hold an electrical charge is the higher. Due to the attenuation, it’s commonly used for short length. Less weight per meter run. Less costly	Characteristic impedance is 75 Ohm Frequency range shall be up to 2150MHz. Center diameter having bigger diameter than RG 59 Less attenuation than RG 59 The cable capacitance is lower than RG 59. Normally used for length up to 90m (295ft.). More weight per meter run than RG 59. More costly than RG 59.	Characteristic impedance is 75 Ohm Frequency range shall be up to 2150MHz. Center diameter is the biggest compared to the rest Less attenuation compared to the rest. The cable capacitance is the lowest than the rest. Normally used for length up to 112m (400ft.) The highest weight compared to the rest. The most costly compared to the rest.
