Whats with all the different connector types?
Yes, there’s many different types of connectors. Forget about ‘F’ connectors, because those are for RG6 and that cable shouldn’t be used for communications. Same goes for RG59 & 60 connectors. Many of these come in a ‘crimp’ style and ‘clamp’ style, and are available for most popular cable sizes. Crimp style is less water resistant on exterior connections, but it can be physically stronger on the cable. Clamp style has a small rubber gasket which helps keep water out of the cable, but it can be a physically weaker connection to the cable. Some of these connectors can be available in both 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm. 50 is what’s needed in communication applications.
