hi

I have bought a spliter, i just need the cables and connectors.

Im running the main feed into the spliter then running one split to my cable modem, the other to my c1500.

Which type of coaxial do i need to get and what connections.

Thanks

Swanny

you need f plugs and some CT100 cable but probably just best to get some from ebay as you will eed tools to connect the plugs.

As maverick007 says, your local B&Q or satellite shop should sort you out.

You can get the F connectors and the cables at maplins.
Also you can get the tool for the F connectors there, that is what I did.

I hope this helps

in maplins they have the screw F connectors so dont even need a tool. it grips on the coax casing

Just to let you all know, i got the cables with connections already fitted from B&Q like Willin suggested.

Not too bad on price either 2.99 for a meter length.
