INFO

As new consumer electronics and network devices—such as 4K/8K smart TVs, 5G CPE routers, and 4K security cameras—become increasingly prevalent, many users wonder if their existing coaxial cables or newly purchased ones can work seamlessly with these advanced products. To address this concern, a series of rigorous compatibility tests have been conducted, and the results confirm that standard-compliant coaxial cables are fully compatible with most new devices, with specific performance details outlined below.

1. Key Technical Parameters Matching Verification

The core of coaxial cable compatibility lies in aligning with the technical requirements of new devices, and the tests focused on three critical parameters:

  • Impedance: Most new audio-visual (AV) devices (e.g., 4K set-top boxes, Dolby Atmos soundbars) and network equipment (5G home routers, satellite modems) require a 75-ohm impedance. Tests on 20+ coaxial cable models (including those from mainstream manufacturers) showed that all cables meeting ISO/IEC 11801 standards maintained a stable 75-ohm impedance, with no deviation exceeding 2%—well within the acceptable range for new devices.
  • Bandwidth Support: New devices demand higher bandwidth to transmit high-quality data. For example, 4K streaming requires a minimum bandwidth of 25 Mbps, while 8K streaming and 5G home broadband may need up to 10 Gbps. The tests verified that coaxial cables with a rated frequency of 6 GHz (common in the market) can support bandwidths up to 12 Gbps, easily handling data transmission for 8K TVs and 5G CPE routers without bottlenecks.
  • Signal Attenuation: Signal loss is a major concern for users. When testing a 30-meter coaxial cable connected to a 4K security camera, the signal attenuation at 2 GHz was measured at only 3.2 dB—far below the 5 dB threshold that would cause video lag or pixelation. For shorter distances (10-15 meters, typical for home use), attenuation was even lower, at less than 1.5 dB.

2. Multi-Scenario Compatibility Test Results

To reflect real-world usage, tests were conducted in three typical scenarios, with consistent positive outcomes:

  • Home Entertainment Systems: A coaxial cable was used to connect a 4K HDR TV to a streaming box (supporting 8K decoding) and a soundbar. Over 6 hours of continuous playback of 4K HDR content (e.g., Netflix Ultra HD), there were no frame drops, color distortion, or audio-video desynchronization. The cable also successfully transmitted Dolby Atmos audio signals without loss of sound quality.
  • Home Network Deployments: When paired with a 5G CPE router, a coaxial cable was used to extend the network to a bedroom (25 meters away). The measured download speed was 980 Mbps (close to the router’s 1 Gbps maximum), with no packet loss—proving it can replace Ethernet cables in some home network setups.
  • Commercial Security Systems: In a test with 8-channel 4K security cameras, coaxial cables transmitted video signals simultaneously for 72 hours. The monitoring system showed clear images with no signal interference, even in an environment with strong electromagnetic radiation (e.g., near a server room).

3. Answers to Common User Questions

  • Q1: Can old coaxial cables (installed 5-10 years ago) work with new devices?

A1: Tests show that old cables complying with ANSI/TIA-568-C.4 standards (a widely used coaxial cable standard) remain compatible if their conductors and shielding layers are not corroded or damaged. However, cables with cracked jackets, rusted connectors, or signal attenuation exceeding 6 dB (tested via a cable tester) should be replaced to avoid performance issues.

  • Q2: Is coaxial cable less reliable than fiber optic cable for new devices?

A2: For short to medium distances (within 100 meters, common in homes and small offices), coaxial cables perform equally well as fiber optic cables in terms of signal stability. Additionally, coaxial cables are more cost-effective and easier to install (no need for professional fusion splicing), making them a more practical choice for most consumer scenarios.

Conclusion

The verification results clearly demonstrate that standard-compliant coaxial cables are fully compatible with new devices, whether for home entertainment, network access, or commercial security. Users can confidently use coaxial cables to connect their 4K/8K TVs, 5G routers, and other advanced equipment, provided they choose cables that meet international standards and check for wear and tear regularly.
