Shotgun cable for new cable route

    I need to change the cabling for the Sky HD+ box, so will ideally need a shotgun cable to save me having to run two different cables.

    The cable run will be around 35-40m, so will obviously be quite long.

    Would a CT63 cable be ok for those kind of lengths, or should I go for something better?

    Appreciate any input...

    As a starting point have a look at the CAI list of benchmarked Twin Type 0.65 cable here - https://www.cai.org.uk/information/benchmarking-scheme/cai-benchmarked-cables

    Shotgun cabling in my opinion is complete rubbish constantly removing it from peoples homes, always coming across problems with f connectors falling off as there are so many different sizes for shotgun cables depending on the manufacturer....run a proper cable you will be glad you did in the long run.
