The features of coax which make it ideal for handling these multiple signal types are its excellent impedance tolerance and its shielding. Our friends at
Bluejeans Cable discuss what shielding is, why it's needed, and what the best types of shields for video cable are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They also show us why typical RG6 Quad shielded cables used by many residential installers aren’t always best suited for high performance video needs because of their poor shield transfer impedances, especially when running long cable lengths.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN></P>
