[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 513475, member: 176256"] Can't say that I've noticed any difference based solely on the colour of the outer sheath, I've used black, brown and white. What is much more important is to make sure that there is double shielding under this outer sheath - TV type co-ax only has a single braided sheath - and that this second shield is copper foil to go with the copper braid. The copper foil was introduced to go with the installation of digital receivers, prior to that aluminium foil was the norm when installing analogue receivers. This double copper shielded co-ax is also the best to use for new TV aerial installations as it gives better shielding for digital terrestrial transmissions. [/QUOTE]
