What type of cable is used?

The cable uses 75Ohm RG59/U coaxial cable.

What systems is this cable compatible with?

Are the connectors easy to install?

Can I use this cable outdoors?

While the cable is durable, it is best to protect it from direct weather exposure. Use suitable outdoor-rated cable clips or conduits if running it outdoors.

What should I do if the picture quality is poor?

Check the F-connector connections at both ends and ensure they are securely screwed in. Inspect the cable for any damage or kinks. Try a different cable if the problem persists.
