[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 56442, member: 175057"] The best and lowest loss would be something like Webro WF233 with a loss of 15.6db at 2Ghz over 100m, mainly used for distribution runs though, as it is pretty unwieldly and requres special connectors. WF165 is somewhere in the middle, with a figure of 20db, but still pretty unwieldly. I have never used anything over CT125 or WF125 for normal dish to receiver runs this has a loss of 24db at 2Ghz over 100m. I would add that these cable are made to set standards, so probably any cable conforming to a particular standard will produce similar results. I favour the foam dialectric cables as they are well protected against denting and snagging, also the best preserved cables I find on very old aerial installations tend to be the foam dialectric ones. PS. I don't profess to be an expert on cable, but do know what works well for me. :) [/QUOTE]
