Very flexible coax cable for home use?
I'm going to install a small 10" TV in our kitchen, is there a coax cable I can get which would be more flexible than the stuff normally used with a TV connection? The TV won't weigh much and I think the normal cable wouldn't let the TV be turned to be viewed very easily, the cable would probably try to keep the TV in one position because it's fairly stiff. Something either very flexible, or small diameter, or maybe like a telephone coil cord?
Saw something on the net about 1/8" wide cable that seemed to be for AV type equipment, might that work? Seemed to have the same type of ends. Thanks!
The usual antenna cable is RG59 coax terminated in an "F" connector for attachment to your TV. A better cable electrically is RG6, but it's even stiffer than RG59. You're pretty much limited to those choices since the cable's physical properties are dictated by a certain electrical constant (known as Impedance) that doesn't allow for creative cable shapes and sizes.
If necessary, a possible solution for you might be a right-angle F-connector. Check your local hardware store in the section where they have telephone wire and TV antenna cables. You should be able to find a right-angle adapter to which you can connect your antenna cable, allowing the cable to lie flat against the back of the set.
