New to this Forum so thank you in advance for your help. I need to do 2 short runs 7m each from a twin LNB no joins. Can I use Belden 9907 RG58 coax? Thank you
You may find it working, but really you should use RG6 (or even RG59), not RG58, there's a mismatch in impedance (50 Ohm vs 75 Ohm).Can I use Belden 9907 RG58 coax? Thank you
I use Webro WF100 for satellite and TV antenna cables. I would not use anything else!
No need for compression fittings just to save your fingers - grip the cable itself in one hand and then turn the serrated body of the F-connector with a pair of pliers in the other hand! Easy & quick....plus they save your fingers from twisting the ordinary connectors on!)

Totally agree - been using compression F-connectors for while - you get a better finish, no twisting of the outer sheath when putting it on, it fits a range of cable thinknesses (not just one), and it's watertight if you get the right ones (I use PPC).I use WF100 cable like the guys above have mentioned! I'm a recent convert to compression F connectors too for a nice finish (plus they save your fingers from twisting the ordinary connectors on!)

I found the cable thing unwieldly too - it twisted often for me.No need for compression fittings just to save your fingers - grip the cable itself in one hand and then turn the serrated body of the F-connector with a pair of pliers in the other hand! Easy & quick.
At how many meters do we define it as a "long run"?
