Ish Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Hi All If rg59 cable needs extending can you just add a male/female bnc connection in and extend it? I was told adding a 'join' in the cable reduces the video quality? Thanks

Thanks You can join it that way, all joints introduce loss... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

Ish Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 would there be a noticable loss in video quality?
breff Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Chances are you will notice no difference. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
arfur mo Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 it is said that each join 'costs' one decibel, if colour above over 200 yards then might be an issue, if not doubt you will have a problem. it's always best to use crimped connections not the wind on one's. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
