[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1151767, member: 369937"] If your using it for a satellite installation then look at the upper frequency response, it should be from 2.5 GHz to 3 GHz, or the signal loss may be too great on the higher transponders. Some coax is only rated for TV or CATV use,(900 MHz top end) another thing is when used in a long run (30 to 60 meters) the center conductor should be solid copper, this cuts down on the DC voltage drop on the cable, and now days with 5G interference your shielding should be as good as it gets. I use dual or quad shielded cable with a copper core, makes for a tight install. And be sure to ground the coax. [/QUOTE]
