RG59 coaxial cables are commonly used for video applications, including analog and digital CCTV (closed-circuit television) systems, cable television (CATV) distribution, and digital satellite television. They’re thinner and have a smaller diameter than other coaxial cables such as RG6 and RG11, which makes them more flexible and easier to install in tight spaces.

One of the main advantages of RG59 coaxial cables is their cost-effectiveness, which makes them a popular choice for CCTV and other video applications. RG59 wires can be terminated with a variety of connectors, including BNC connectors, F-type connectors, and RCA connectors, depending on the specific application.
