I'm looking for around 15 metres of Coax Cable.
I do have some Coax in the cupboard under the stairs, this has the correct F plugs on that I would need already. It is 3c-2v cable. Is this anygood?

I have used it on my existing VM box just to test it, and it seemed ok to use, no dodgy quality or anything.

What do you guys recommend? I was looking on Maplins but cant find any of the RG6 stuff.
