[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 298601, member: 175057"] Yes, that is very true, but on the other hand, if you go into a satellite store/wholesaler in the UK and ask for RG6, it will not be copper on copper quality cable they offer, it will be a cheap substitute with alu' foil and steel braid and it is this cable which people compare with CT100, not the US version. I use Webro WF100 and WF125, as I like the performance, the general characteristics of the cable (foam dialectric) and the fact that it can be prepared with standard tools very easily for connectors. I have been testing the new Antiference 5540F (cable in a box) and whilst I have no issues with the performance and the reel in a box idea, for connector preparation it is pants. The outer is too flexible (kinking in the trimming tool) and the dialectric bonds to the core, making removal difficult and the slightest twist will break the core. The second 300m box I have will be returned next week. :) PS. The cable I used to use a lot, was Bieffe C010R, a superb cable, all copper, with foam dialectric and easily prepared for connectors, but unfortunately, I can only use it on big contracts, as I have to buy it direct in bulk, as none of the wholesalers sell it.
