Boy,, If your ethernet cards use coax they are really old.


Right!


The last one usually has a terminator cap.


Both ends need them. They avoid reflections.


I don't know for sure if TV cable will, or will not work.


It won't. Wrong impedance. For thin wire you need 50 Ohms, so a RG58
would do. TV-cables are 75 Ohms, IIRC.

I still have a bunch of coax lying around. Double shielded, best
quality. Also some connectors (crimping) ...
