It is coax. Try splitting the signal and if it is strong enough all will be
well, if it isn't you'll have to get an amplifier.
I had problems keeping the signal with USB also so I went another route as
she is about to do.

yes, coax. I think it sent her maybe a 50 ft cable i had here - didn't
measure it, but i also sent her a 50 ft cat5 and a 15 ft cat5, and it
looked bulky enough to be 50ft. (They are having problems with the usb
wireless adapter - it keeps losing the signal and i'm tired of trying
to fix it over the phone - so that computer is going wired and they
are moving the wireless AP to a better location.)
I know there can be problems if the cable is too long unless you use a
powered splitter, but at this point she just wants a tv in her room
and I wanted to make sure what i sent will get her by. She doesn't
want to spend a lot of money doing it, but will probably hit me up for
a powered splitter on our next visit. <g> (If i look around i might
even find a powered splitter from the olden days.)
well this is my philly daughter... so yes, there is broadband in the
signal - but i thought it came out at the modem? (ok, so i have never
seen a cable modem setup - they didn;'t have them when i had cable.
:)) i was figuring the splitter goes on the feed to the first TV.
