Why do we need coaxial cables for TV signal transmission, what would happen if we would just use a „normal“ cable instead?
In: 1
What’s a “normal” cable? I mean, when I think of cables, coaxial *is* normal. It’s the way TV and cable and satellite signals have been moved for, like, 50 years or more. They’re good for long ranges with very little signal degradation (beating CAT5 and CAT6), they’re simple (only goes in one way!) to use (beating USB1 and 2), they’re simple to repair (snip, snip, pull, press, pull) (beating USB3 and Ethernet), and they’re durable (beating twisted pair RJ45, aka telephone wire). So…why wouldn’t we use them?
