Silver Member Username: TherepoFtaview.com Post Number: 137 Registered: May-07 | You got a dealio, zulu! I usually pay around $50 CAD plus tax/ship for 1000 ft. For long runs, yes, the longer you go the more loss, but just as important as length is the quality of the cable--dual/tri/quad shield and % braid, and you'll see "swept to X Ghz", but it's not always all practically meaningful. When in doubt, choose a good brand. Belden is an excellent cable choice. I have about a 150' run to diseqc, and on two LNBs there is about another 20' after that. Using Legacy LNBs, and no problems. (Although I wouldn't use a Legacy twin at that range, the SW voltage pulse wouldn't make it for switching). |
