RG59 - RG 6
RG-6/U is a common type of coaxial cable used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications. The term "RG-6" itself is quite generic and refers to a wide variety of cable designs, which differ from one another in shielding characteristics, center conductor composition, and dielectric type. RG-6 was originally a military spec where RG means Radio Guide, but is now obsolete; in practice, the term "RG-6" is generally used to refer to coaxial cables with an 18 AWG center conductor and 75 ohm characteristic impedance.

The BNC connector is used for RF signal connections, for analog and Serial Digital Interface video signals, amateur radio antenna connections, aviation electronics (avionics) and many other types of electronic test equipment. It is an alternative to the RCA connector when used for composite video on commercial video devices, although many consumer electronics devices with RCA jacks can be used with BNC-only commercial video equipment via a simple adapter. BNC connectors were commonly used on 10base2 thin Ethernet networks, both on cable interconnections and network cards, though these have largely been replaced by newer Ethernet devices whose wiring does not use coaxial cable. Some ARCNET networks use BNC-terminated coax

What is Plenum rated cable, and do I need it?
[A] Plenum rated cable generally has the same data transmission performance specifications as regular RG-59, but there are some differences in the wire pair coating, and the outer jacket of the cable itself.
Plenum rated RG-59 has a jacket that meets specific ANSI requirements to be flame retardant and have low smoke production. The idea being that if the building is involved in a fire, the RG-59 Plenum cable will not burn as easy as a standard PVC jacket, and will produce less smoke than a typical RG-59 cable if it does catch fire. The only drawback to this theory has to do with the fact that if Plenum rated RG-59 cable actually does catch fire, it has been reported that it can actually burn at hotter temperatures than a PVC jacketed RG-59 cable.
