1: Coax for video - 75 Ohms.

2: Coax termination - F

3: UTP is fine. With the advances in manufacturing quality control over
the last 10 years, STP is only really used in _very_ high EMF situations
these days - like... you want to wrap data cables round a generator ;-)

Hi Guys,

Just some quickies:

1) coax for audio/video disttibution - 50ohms or 75ohms?  I know coax
for
data networking needs 50ohm termination, but what about using coax for
sending/receiving video?

2) coax termination - what is the best termination of coax for a/v?
F-connectors?  Are those the ones that look like phonos?

3) UTP vs. STP - should I consider putting some Shielded Cat5 into my
living
room as well as UTP cat5?  Possible future use is for audio/video/IR.
What
is STP mainly used for?

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,
-Dan
