I personally would rather not use RG-59 for anything. If I am not mistaken RG-59 is 50 Ohm cable. I would rather use RG-6 or if you can afford it then use RG-11. RG-11 is thicker cable but has better performance. We had trouble getting our signal to our "local" cable company headend so we paid them to install an RG-11 coax cable that we sent our signal through until they replaced it with fiber optics. I do not know how to put a connector on the end of an RG-11 cable and I do not know where to buy them. My tools are for RG-6 and other cables of the same width.
