The way he says “coax caaaaable” is sending me

[@larryparis925]

Well done.

[@thehonoredone9325]

Thanks for the info! Any coax cable strippers you recommend that are on the cheaper end?

[@UltimateTechHub]

The cable hit kit in this video is the one I recommend and the link is in this video description. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5yUYYqffrKZrJI

I can’t find this answer anywhere. Maybe I’m have some luck here, but we already have existing Wi-Fi here at home but I wanted to get my own Wi-Fi router in my room. Is there a way to get a coax cable upstairs without interrupting the existing Wi-Fi router and coax cable?

[@PSNGrimReapers]

Mesh system. No need to move any cable. Each router is it's own system and has no upload download loss like wifi extenders and you can still plug in for a hardline.

[@alisonsmith8653]

What if the end of my coax cable is painted over? I want to connect my equipment to that port.

[@reggien4165]

Need new end pieces. That copper in the middle of the wire is the part transferring information so if it's got paint on there... well makes it very difficult or impossible for it to do it's job. Cable company, or buy tools off amazon or klein's website. Fittings, kremper, dykes, strippers

[@mrboiii69__yt31]

Can you connect a coax cable to any coaxial outlet ?

[@Hondaf22a1]

Yes

[@dawndavis5196]

Does it matter if the ends are gold for use with antenna

[@UltimateTechHub]

Nope, it all works the same.

[@dawndavis5196]

@@UltimateTechHub thank you very much

[@stayfrosty1323]

I have a white coax cable in my room but a black cable that plugs from that, into my router/modem (not this kind of tech savvy). Also if that’s not the problem, the coax in my living room works but the one in my room doesn’t. What could be causing that?

[@UltimateTechHub]

It sounds like the other end is not hooked up to your cable company. Check the small panel outside of your house that says catv and look to see if all the coax cables are connected.

[@piusalan3401]

Can I use a coaxal cable to connect my living room tv to another tv in a different location in my house

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes absolutely.

[@piusalan3401]

@@UltimateTechHub please I need help on how to do that. I just bought a coaxial cable that fits into my Samsung smart tv and my coax wall outlet. But I still can't see what is being shown on the tv on the other tv instead I can see local channels

[@SpikeTheWolf]

So is there a way to boost my wifi with these??

[@UltimateTechHub]

No not with coax. Sorry.

[@LynxStarAuto]

What about 90° fittings? I've heard these are not recommended for home entertainment use. Only radios. Any bases to that?

[@PSNGrimReapers]

Yes. 90° fittings don't always have the best contact with the cable center conductor and generally fail faster then standard good quality fittings. I never use them as they are hit and miss.

[@acgrateful3373]

New subscriber, Thanks for taking the time to do this video it answered several questions I had, but I have one more. I live in a 100 year old house that has coax cable all over the place, I would like to get rid of some of the ones in the basement because they are in the way (they have open ends). I only use a cable to the router on second floor, would it be safe to cut those cables? Is there an easy way to test the cables to see if they have a load?... could be using the wrong term.. to see if they are the cable that my signal is on?

[@kieranmoroney4671]

What if I have DSL but I have a coax cable in my house

[@hailseitan3876]

Are coax wall outlets safe? (Not the coax cable, the one on the wall)Is there electric current or anything running through them? I have an old one in my bedroom that was there before I moved in.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Totally safe. Coax outlets will not hurt you.

[@hailseitan3876]

@@UltimateTechHub Are they a fire hazard like a regular wall outlet/sockets?

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@hailseitan3876 no its not rated as a electrical outlet its rated as low voltage. No fire Hazzard.

[@cableapostle]

Coax cable will usually poses no harm to you at all. There really shouldn't be any more than 4 millivolts coming out of each ends of your wall plate outlet. Coaxial deals with frequencies that is a little as 5 MHz up to 2000 MHz depending on the system. Any power on a HFC system (cable network) that is above 12dbmv is too much power. That's really a fraction on 1 volt! So, no. There is no fire hazard or shock hazard (unless you have a backfeed, bad ground to an equipment or power inserters) at all.

[@Red_AIert]

Lookin 👍🏽

[@saucyfn1958]

What if the coax cable is broken but the cord can still go in will that mean the speed of your internet decreases I have the 600 mbps extreme pro internet plan but when I test the connection on the game it only says 25 mbps I am confused can you help

[@UltimateTechHub]

Typically when playing games online you will only get 25 to 30 mbps and thats all you need I have 1gig fiber and my PS5 internet speed is about 40 mbps sometimes less. But Call of Duty plays perfectly!!

[@Hondaf22a1]

Doesn’t listen to this guy , if your cable is physically broken then it no longer transferring the RF properly, you have noise, signal loss. Get a new cable or just call your internet provider. The broken cable is definitely causing your speed loss.

[@cableapostle]

Martin is right. Your cable modem bonds up to 24 downstream frequencies (channels) to get the speeds out of your DOCSIS 3.0 modem. Broken cables will cause signal to noise issues and ingress. You have any of those problems you will experience network issues and that includes slower internet speeds.

[@hykdee]

ok so i just got cox and we don’t have a coax wall plate and i need help the wifi box says i need to connect it to a coax cable but all the cables in my house run through the wall. please hep

[@UltimateTechHub]

So you don't have any visible coax in any rooms? You shoudl have a coax in every bedroom and living room. Is there a blank wall plate in any of the rooms? If yes unscrew the blank wall plate and the coax should be inside.

[@hykdee]

Ultimate Tech Hub yes i have the coax in every room but i dont have and blank wall plates, i dont have any wall plates at all

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@hykdee so the coax cable is coming out of the wall? Just hook up your modem to one of the coax cables. Then connect that modem to a wireless router via a ethetnet cable.

[@hykdee]

Ultimate Tech Hub so i need to buy a wireless router?

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@hykdee if you want wifi and more than one computer internet connection. If you have only one computer and don't need wifi then the modem is all you need.

[@joanmulongo3905]

Do you have to pay monthly?

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes if you want cable service like TV or internet.

[@joanmulongo3905]

@@UltimateTechHub What if I am a console gamer

[@persian-k4i]

I wanna do this but I don’t want to spend $25 more to buy a pack with a cutter. I feel like the stripper and compression tool are enough...

[@UltimateTechHub]

That will probably be fine. Just use the best cutter you have. Like a good wire cutter. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!

[@persian-k4i]

Ultimate Tech Hub can i just not cut it? Like I don’t think it’ll make a difference..

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@persian-k4i if it looks like it has already been cut cleanly then you will be good. Just make sure the entire coax is cut evenly with no uneven edges. That way the f type connector sits flush.

[@persian-k4i]

Ultimate Tech Hub Hi I’m doing this right now and seem to be having a problem with connecting it to the outlet like it does not stick any advice. I would appreciate ASAP

[@UltimateTechHub]

@@persian-k4i here is my video that will take you through the process. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5yUYYqffrKZrJI Good luck and keep me posted.

[@OmertaMoonk]

Do u gotta plug the Wifi box in the wall

[@UltimateTechHub]

You will need to plug a modem into the coax outlet and then plug in the wireless router into the modem. Here is a video you can watch for that setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWnPn62Kh8mDaJY Thanks for watching and keep me posted if you have any issues. :-)

[@UltimateTechHub]

Can a Coax Cable give you an electrical shock? Watch and find out!

[@Hondaf22a1]

Yes it can, if this happens call an electrician and do not hook it back up to your equipment!

[@TraceyTaylor]

Quick correction for you: The transmission speed of coax is 10 Mbps (megaBITS per second), not megaBYTES per second.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Yes I sometimes say the wrong thing. Sometimes I say Bytes instead of Bits or vice-versa. Thanks for watching.

[@LemCatOfficial]

2:50 "or a flame thrower, just kidding" I can confirm, do not use a flame thrower. 🤚💀

[@domilion2008]

COAX speed is limited by DOCSIS stands for "Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification. Most common for consumers are versions 3.0, and 3.1, 4.0 is too expensive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS

[@antonioracioppa9523]

first, you should not bend the fine hairs around the delectrium back and your f-connector should always be key tight as this can cause interference

[@bwood6337]

Great video but they're are way too many sound affects.

[@raykyle7075]

Yeah they are

[@dragon01928]

2 trillion on what? Why is that omitted

[@reggien4165]

For the love of god please be gentle when installing coax. It only takes one kink in the line to cause intermittent issues with internet.

[@UltimateTechHub]

Lol! Thanks for watching and my coax works perfectly!

[@davidprivette8898]

You never want to spin the barrel on the f-connector. You want to only spin the connector so it doesn’t score the center conductor.

[@yeaokluke]

That fucking sound effect is so annoying, seriously chill with the transition effects.
