Whether you need connector cable assemblies for computers, switches, monitors and printers, your audio-video equipment, HDTV or industrial machines, we will help you make the right connections.

RG stands for "Radio Guide." The numbers of the various versions of RG connector cable refer to the diameter (59 meaning .059, and 6 meaning .06, etc) and internal characteristics of the connector cable, including the amount of shielding and the connector cable's attenuation, which refers to how much signal loss there is per length of connector cable.
You may also see the term RF used with these connector cables, which stands for "Radio Frequency."
Most non-industrial coaxial connector cable is now known as RG-6, although the previous thinner lower-quality standard of RG-59 is still used in some applications and older homes. Commercial installers may use a thicker RG connector cable, like RG-11(which is only used if the distance from the source tap to your point of termination at the home is greater than 200 feet)
RG connector cables used in homes for ordinary purposes should be 75 ohm (RG-6 or RG-59).
Be aware that all connector cables (and their connectors) come in a variety of qualities. Get the best quality connector cable you can.

As our name implies, connector cables and Connectors are our business. We have been in business in the Nashville Tennessee area for 25 years and have seen connectivity change from Type I and Twinax connector cable to Unshielded Twisted Pair to Gigabit Ethernet. We have seen connector cable assemblies change from RS232 and Parallel Printer connector cables to Cat6 , Fiber, DVI, VGA and HDMI. Many aspects of the business have been simplified, but changes still occur constantly as new products are introduced and standards are updated.

We stock many other connector cables and connectors in house. If you don't see what you need, just ask and we will be happy to help you find what you need. The right equipment is important, but it will not work without the Right Connections.
