How can you communicate the difference between a RG-6/U cable and RG-59/U?

The connector on my cable wire is not at hand so I need to put one on but the problem is I don't know if the line coming out of the wall is an RG 6U or RG 59U. There's no writing on the wire. I'm not sure if anyone would know how to tell by a picture but if you would be capable of reply to this question and I will correlation you to a pic of the wire. The house I am living contained by is about 20yrs frail...not sure if that helps. We use satellite TV...not sure if that help. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, If I buy a RG 6U and put it on the line and it turns out that it is an RG 59U...will it just NOT work or will something doomed to failure happen (like the rope will catch fire or something?)...so surrounded by other words what happens if I use the wrong connector beside the wrong wire?


Answers:    RG 6 cable is larger within diameter than RG 59. if you have a token of either cable to be precise known, compare it to the cable contained by question. The diameter of the cable is blatant in comparison. In PS the cable will not catch fire (lol) Both types of cable down RG 59 and RG 6 are 75 ohm impedence, correct for satellite reception and both use "F" connectors. However RG 59 connectors only fit RG 59 cable and RG 6 connectors individual fit RG 6 cable ( again wire diameter )
RG-6 is Thicker Cable...Go to Radio Shack and buy a SCREW-ON RG-6 and a RG-59....

Use the one that FITS....

If the flex is NEW within the final 5 to 10 years, I would suspect it is RG-6.

Before that, RG-59 was KING......

It won't corner fire, it won't cause your TV to burn out....
IT JUST WON'T FIT....that's adjectives.
