What coax do you use

[Site Services]

Umm, ok. You guys apppear to know alot about coax, how do you rate the HYC100 that I'm using? I know nothing about it as it was given to me by a mate of mine.

That cable looks fine, as it is copper braid and foil, how well it is made I don't know, as i haven't used it, but it probably performs similarly to CT and WF100.

A useful little article on cables.

Is there a UK wholesaler who stocks the Thomas and Betts snap-n-seal range? I particularly like the idea of the RCA phono and BNC connectors all in the same range.

 

[Rd100]

Yes there is a uk supplyer but there not cheap at all i can get there details for you, For my own install's i buy mine from a few sellers on ebay U.S.A very cheap

here is a link to one of the sellers i use http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THOMAS-BETTS-...ryZ39803QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

I can buy the F type connectors for a reasonable price from Sateuropa, but I would like an integrated solution with the three types.

hi is this about as good as you can get or is there better??? as i am wanting the best signal i can get on 7w with my 1.2m and quad invacom (its a bit hit and miss during the day and any signal increase would be greatly received)

 

[Rd100]

Is what the best you can get, Also how is the feedhorn going,

hi rd100 the coax from maplins,the feedhorn slight improvement especially with the quad but im only judging that on 7w the long ongoing saga nice of you to remind me,thanks for your advice once again cheers

How long is the cable run iwol? If it is around 10m then the difference will be about half a Db.

 

[iwol]

about 10-15m roughly

 

[rolfw]

OK, then you may gain a db or so at the receiver, but it won't be a huge gain.

 

[iwol]

as against what decibel at the receiver cheers

 

[rolfw]

Well if you have say 65db at present, then you may read 66db after changing the coax.

 

[iwol]

not worth it then?

 

[iwol]

cheers guys

Hi RD100 or anyone who maybe in the trade.

Where is the best place to buy copper on copper decent quality Coax in the uk? I'd be looking to buy around 500m each time and have it sent through royal mail?

I usually use TLC or CPC

Cheers

I use Alltrade, but surely it would be better buying form one of the Italian trade suppliers, would have thought that the shipping would have been less.

I have used the Bieffe cables in the past and liked the quality, they actually have a distributor in Greece as well. http://www.bieffecavi.com/index.php?lingua=eng&pag=rete.html
