If so, as long as your modem's signal levels are good after, it won't cause any more latency at all. If the added coaxial is like 50 feet and your signal strength drops a lot though, you will have problems.
Maybe not latency problems, but some type of problem. Connect the other end of the output to the antenna. Do proper tightening of the metal cable at each side of the coaxial cable so that you don't lose any power. Plug the power into the indoor antenna. Author Info Last Updated: March 20, Create termination points. Cut off the ends of the coax cables to be spliced. Use small sharp wire cutters.
Create squared off surfaces, rather than beveled surfaces. Mold the ends of the coax using your fingers. Mold the ends of the cables back into cylinders. They will have been distorted by the pressure of the cutting operation.
Insert the cables, one at a time, into a coax stripper tool. Coax stripper tools are available at hardware and electrical stores. As each cable is inserted, make sure that the end of the cable is seated flush against the wall or guide on the stripping tool. This ensures proper strip lengths. Clamp the stripping tool around each cable. Once the tool is in place around the cable, smoothly spin the tool around the cable 4 or 5 times.
Keep the rotation in 1 place on each cable. Do not apply any force that would pull on the cable insulation coating. Remove the coax stripping tool from each cable as the strip cut is completed. The stripping tool made 2 cuts simultaneously.
Use your fingers to gently pull off the material nearest the end of each cable. This exposes the bare center conductor of each cable. Pull off the outer insulation that has been freed on each cable by the second cut made by the stripping tool. Pull gently with your fingers. This exposes a layer of foil on each cable. Tear off the exposed foil on each cable.
This will expose a layer of metal mesh on each cable. Bend back the exposed metal mesh on each cable with your fingers. Do not tear the layer of foil that is under the metal mesh. The layer of foil protects the inner insulation. Bend the mesh all the way back so that it is molded over the end of the outer insulation on each cable. Press the end of each cable into the back of an F connector. Make sure that on each connector, the white inner insulation can be seen pressing against the front flange of the connector.
If the cable is unidentifiable, the simplest solution is to cut a piece off and bring it to the hardware store.
The alternate is to measure the cable. RG6 has a diameter of. A coaxial cable is constructed different from a typical cable. It typically has a black outer vinyl jacket, a metal mesh layer works as a shield , a white dielectric insulator inside the metal mesh layer, and the core copper conducting wire.
When stripping the cable, be careful not to damage the innermost copper wire. Coaxial cable strippers are designed to ensure that this does not happen, but precise measurements with a knife will work as well. After stripping the cable and exposing the copper wire, fold the metal mesh back over the outer casing. This should leave the insulator intact and bare, along with the copper wire.
While being sure not to damage the inner copper wire, slide each connector onto its respective cable end. A small amount of copper cable should extend past the end of each connector. A coaxial crimping tool should have settings for both cable types, RG6 and RG
