It is not mere wire resistance either. The capacitance is also a factor
in why RG-6 is better than RG-59.


The capacitance has almost nothing if anything at all to do with the losses
at the cable frequencies.

If you look at the charts the capacitance is nearly the same and often the
rg-59 is less than the rg-6.. The main losses is the I squared R loss of
the conductors.
