Question RG6 vs RG59 cable question
Hi,

I have RG-59 cable but when I measured the connectors, I dont get a complete connection using ohmmeter, so I think the connectors are "bad."

I went to Home Depot and noticed that there are RG59 and RG6-labeled connectors...

So, can I use/crimp the RG6 connector (which I think is slightly larger/wider) to my RG59 cable?

Will it make a tight/solid connection?

I know that the RG59 cable is slightly smaller (diameter-wise) than the better RG6 cable.
