What type of connection does RG-6 cable use?

  1. Fiber Optic

  2. Coaxial 50 Ohms

  3. Coaxial 75 Ohms

  4. Twisted Pair

The correct answer is: Coaxial 75 Ohms

RG-6 cable uses a coaxial 75 ohm connection. This type of cable is commonly used for cable television and internet connections. Option A, fiber optic, is a type of cable that uses light to transmit data and is not commonly used for cable connections. Option B, coaxial 50 ohms, is a similar type of cable but is typically used in radio frequency applications, not for cable connections. Option D, twisted pair, is a type of cable commonly used in Ethernet networks, but is not the type of connection used in RG-6 cables.
