568B - What is 568B ?
8P8C Ethernet connector is often used to terminate Ethernet patch cables.
The 8P8C is often confused with the RJ-45 connector.

COAX CABLE
RG-6 (also RG6) (both Quad Shielded and Dual Shielded) 75-Ohm COAXIAL cable
RG6 Coaxial Cable is used primarily to carry TV (and FM) signals.
COAX cable has replaced the old, flat, 300 Ohm TV cable due to the facts
that Coaxial cable does not deteriorate with age as quickly as the flat
300 Ohm video cable, and COAX cable is SHIELDED (the other is not shielded).
COAX cable is ROUND, not flat.
RG6Q (Quad-shielded) COAX Cable
NOTE: the outer diameter of Quad Shielded is thicker than Dual Shielded,
so Quad Shielded RG-6 needs different sized connectors and wire stippers.
RG6 (or better) is mandated for DirectDish runs longer than 60 feet,
and a friend found out the hard way, that they mean it.
(check to see what "they" require these days). I would use
ONLY Quad Shielded RG-6 or RG-7 for all new cable runs.

RG6A AUGMENTED RG6 Coax Cable)
Cat 6A (Augmented) bulk cable includes theCat following varieties:
Cat 6A UTP (Unshileded Twisted Pair) Solid Conductor Riser Rated,
Cat 6A UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Plenum Rated,
Cat 6A FTP Shielded Solid Conductor Riser Rated, Cat 6A FTP Shielded Plenum Rated,
and Cat 6A FTP Shielded Stranded Conductor
The TIA specifications for Cat 6A Ethernet Cable has limits on
alien crosstalk in cabling systmes. Augmented Cat 6 Ethernet
Cable has to operate at a minimum frequency of 500MHz fot.
It helps future proof your network and supports 10 Gbit application
up to a maximum distance of 100 meters on a 4-connector channel.

RG-7 (Coax Cable) - comes Direct Burial (flooded), Tri-Shielded,
Quad-Shielded and Low-loss, serial digital interface.
RG 7/U (can be buried)
What is RG-11 ?
RG-11 cable has become especially important because it is included in the list
of specifications required for the installation of CL1, CL2, CM, CMX and CMGs.

VGA (Video connector for computer monitors)
VGA = RGB = D-sub 15 = mini sub D15 = mini D15 = three-row 15 pin DE-15.
Also called an RGB connector.
TIA/EIA-570-A (a residential cabling standard) recommends Quad-shielded RG6.
