March 18, 200719 yr comment_158998 Hi All If rg59 cable needs extending can you just add a male/female bnc connection in and extend it? I was told adding a 'join' in the cable reduces the video quality?

March 18, 200719 yr comment_159046 it is said that each join 'costs' one decibel, if colour above over 200 yards then might be an issue, if not doubt you will have a problem. it's always best to use crimped connections not the wind on one's. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
