What's wrong with this?

I am looking into getting a right angle coax adapter. But I have read reviews saying not to get the adapter(s). Saying that the signal drop-off will be way too much. Is there any truth to this? Is it safe to get the adapter? Is there any way to counter the negatives?

I don't think there would be any signal drop off....I use a good idk 2 meter cable and a splitter so no I don't think so.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

I have used i think 4-5 adapters together to adapte from male-male coax and to split the signal 3 ways and it was fine. The video to begin was horrible to begin. Also the cables were 50 feet to a camera then to a switcher and 50 feet from the switcher on another cable to a projector and the video still looks horrible but the same as the camera was outputting. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

So are you saying there is no signal degradation?

Not that I noticed. But its coax its not 4k so I would not worry too much. What is it for? You may be able to get a signal booster if its bad.

My coax for internet cable is sticking way out from the wall and I wanted to try an adapter to get it closer to the wall.

Oh. It should be ok. Just don't get one from ebay for 23 cents
