RG59 is a versatile coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, designed for general-purpose use. It is suitable for indoor, outdoor, or underground applications. RG59 can effectively transmit baseband signals, broadcast frequencies, and audio and video signals over distances up to 100 feet. However, its relatively poor performance in high-frequency signal attenuation limits its use over longer distances for applications like broadband internet and high-definition TV signals. The cable is noted for its flexibility and ease of handling. The "U" sometimes seen after the RG59 designation indicates that it is a general-purpose coaxial cable. Can also be used for cctv purposes
