Both are 75-ohm coax, but RG6 has a larger diameter and thicker dielectric, resulting in lower attenuation and better high-frequency performance for longer runs and broadband signals. RG59 is thinner and more flexible, making it ideal for shorter CCTV/baseband video runs. RG6 often uses heavier shielding for improved noise rejection; RG59 commonly uses a single braid (e.g., 95% bare copper) that is sufficient for many camera applications.
BACnet is a building automation protocol, not a specific cable type; it frequently runs over RS-485 (BACnet MS/TP) or Ethernet (BACnet/IP). RS-232 is single-ended and point-to-point, best for short distances and low-noise environments, typically using a shielded multi-conductor cable. RS-485 is differential, supports multi-drop networks, longer distances, and greater noise immunity, and typically uses a 120-ohm impedance twisted pair (often with an overall shield), sometimes with an additional pair for power or signaling.
