Thanks

What type of coax?

podgey · 02-08-08, 11:56 PM

any, i just want some for running in a lenght for a cable reciever, i dont know much about coax, but would they be ok outside?

You'll want something fairly decent. Pf100 from Screwfix should be OK for cable use, approx £31 for 100m.

I have 100m drums of RG6 in Black or White for £17.50 + delivery. I can also supply Splitters, connectors, Cable Clips etc

as long as your not burying it underground it will be cool.

rg6 is old analog cable.

ct100/125 is digital.

RG6 is digital cable rated up to 2Ghz and is very similar to what VM use.

There are some issues using CT100/CT125 Air-spaced cable, it's not even recommended by Sky any more, they suggest HF109 instead.
