Yes it foam filled TX100 low smoke cable from Triax, CAI approved which is a good quality benchmark in terms of low loss per metre and rejection of outside interference from DECT phones etc.

You have to register to see the prices, RG6 SATELLITE CABLE 100M works out at €15 excl VAT. Shipping is €10 for delivery up to 30kg. Foam filled as well.

It is foam filled but RG6 is not the same quality as Tx100 or any other CAI certified cable.

Stick to good quality cable (CT100/TX100 etc) less problems, and high quality conductors, inner core, and braid.

Cheap cable is usualy steel inner core with coated copper, and steel/aluminum braid.
As a result can be high loss, and I have even seen rust at the connectors at the L.N.B.

Thanks everyone;)
