Coaxial cable
(coax)
This is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of
wire used to connect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from
any electronics retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has
connectors on both ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and
screw-on; the screw-on connectors are best for use with your Data
Gateway. The coax should be long enough to reach from your Data
Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.
