Cable run

yankinlk

Looking to install a sky dish for an apt. The manager has informed me he wants my antenna out of the way at the gable end - 6 aprtments away. this involves running the cable a pretty long distance.

Any idea what the max distance i can get away with before i need a reapter - AND do you recommend any i can use?

use pf100 cable from b and q and you will be fine ( up to 30m)

Tony

what is the distance in metres?

At a guess its like 70 meters...i can measure it later but it is quite a distance.

Does anyone else in the block want it seeing as you are passing 6 flats ???

doesnt matter - it can only be mounted on the one side - the far side - not the front back or side closest to me.

the cable will actually be run under a decking for the marina in the back of the apts.

70m needs a repeater in the middle. Maplin have them (They just call them sat amps). They just go inline and are powered via LNB power.

Use CT125 as it has more weatherproof outer and lower loss.

I agree with Watty Ct125 would be best here, only slightly bigger than ct100.
