What cables carry the signal from a cable modem to a PC is it a RCA cable HDMI ethernet or coaxial?

coaxial


Is cable coaxial the same as satellite coaxial?

Most times they are the same but a satellite signal needs to be carried by RG6 cable it is a heavier gauge wire then say RG59. Regular or analog cable signal is sometimes carried by RG59 but digital cable should use RG6. +++ The primary specification is not conductor size but the impedance and capacitance of the cable.


The center copper core of coaxial cable is called what?

Coaxial cable has a center core of copper wire surrounded by a layer of insulation, which is in turn surrounded by a conductive braided shielding and encased in a final insulation sheath. The center copper core and the braided shielding layer act as two independent conductors, thus allowing two - way communications over a coaxial cable.


What is the easiest way to get HDTV from your antenna to your projector?

Coaxial cable, RG6u or RG 59u. The RG6u has less loss for longer cable runs.


How do you hook up cable to a TV with a broken coaxial input but has the three AV inputs?

If your television has a broken coaxial input but has three AV inputs (Red, White, and Yellow), and your cable box has the same AV inputs in the back of it, which they usually do, all you have to do is connect the cords from the cable box to the TV(if you dont have the RCA cords, these can be purchased at any electronic store). Instead of putting your TV on channel 3 or 4 as you would when the cable is hooked up by coaxial, switch your channel to one of your Input or Video channels, as you would do if you were trying to watch a VHS tape or DVD. You'll see that the AV outlets provide just as good of a picture as the coaxial hookup.
