My System: GoldMaster 7400 CIM 2MB with Kaon board 12.03.a5. Sunny AT-8012D with Kaon board 16.C0.A1 Two 80cm offset dishes. One 120 cm table top offset dısh. Double output LNBs from Kipa supermarket. |
What's the best way of joining two lengths of RG6 coax? I could terminate each piece with an f connector then connect them together with a barrel connector. But in effect this is two connections. Is there a better way......? | ||

| The loss would be in the region of 0.6 to about 1dB for a decent matched set of connectors, and so unless you are near the end of the sensitivity of the receivers tuner, you should not get any problems. Make sure however the electrical contact of outer and inner are good, preferably by scraping any crud off the inner connector circumference. Needless to say it shold all be done in dry conditions and external work to be waterproofed after.
