Rg-11 to RG-6 adapter?

If I'm reading the specs right, standard coax (in the US anyway) is RG-6. I can't find any RG-11 cables that are only about 2-3 feet long which is all I need. RG-6 cables are available in all lengths.

I am by no means an expert for monitor cables, but if I understand the facts correctly, there is no such thing as an "RG11-connector" or an "RG6-connector". Both RG11 and RG6 refer to coaxial cables (!) with approx. 11 and 6 mm diameter. The type of connector may be anything that fits such a cable: be it BNC, a standard IEC plug ("antenna plug") or a screw-on F-connector. These are available in versions for RG11 and RG6 cables, while the connector itself that plugs into the device always remains the same.

So the question is what kind of connector (!) you need: on the monitor end as well as on the other side. The cable diameter may be the least concern here. Just make sure it has the right impedance (is it 75 Ω or 50 Ω or something different?).

But once again: I am not an expert, please check this once again.
