A Brief History of RG-9's Infamy
RG-9 was once considered a reliable cable for carrying data, but its propensity for losing signal was legendary. In the 80s, it was the go-to choice for connecting VCRs to the wall.
However, after a series of mysterious power outages in the 90s, the public lost trust in this cable.
Today, it's mostly relegated to carrying the occasional ham radio signal.
