Re: RG59 from street to RG6 in the house

I've been using PPC EX6 connectors, PPC claims they'll work on any RG6, double, tri, or quad, and in my experience they do.

There is also a PPC EX6XL connector which is the same thing except longer so you can use a standard compression tool to install it. (The PPC EX6 connectors are shorter and therefore a standard compression tool may not compress them all the way unless it can be adjusted).

Incidentally, why are the ground wires coiled and why is there a ground wire connecting the two splitters? The ground wires should not be coiled and the extra ground wire linking the two splitters is just causing a ground loop.

Plus I don't think the splitter on the left was designed to have two ground wires in it, so it may not be making good connection to either of them.

@brianl703:

Looks like the same splitter to me, the left one has the same ground screw the right one has. Your right on with the coiled ground wire and double ground connection though.
