    Any place hand online or should I just get it at local electrical supplier?
    Is there any savings online.
    What Spec cable should I be after?
    Possibly 20-30m run. A few runs from the single dish quad lnb.
    Thanks

    Satellite grade Cable Type 100 (CT100) is recommended, RG6 can also be used.
    Attached is a list of CAI benchmarked cable

    freetv.ie/pf100-cable/

    Can't make the link active. That's a question for another day.

    Can't see it in white which would be preferred.
    From reading about the ct100 cable it seems which manufacturer is important any suggestions?
    I'll call local tomorrow.
    Louth area.
    Thanks all.

    I've used that PF100. It is good cable made by Philex. Foam dielectric, good braid. The other recommended brand is Webro WF100 though I'm not sure where you would get this in Ireland.

    CT 100 is obsolete and not been made for many years. It was made by Radex which no longer exist. Any cable now sold as CT100 is fake.

    CT100 as in CAI's Cable Type 100, but of course you know that already, nonsense post.

    IIRC B&Q do satellite cable on small drums.

    Whichever you go to get one with copper screen rather than aluminium screen.

    The OP went for CT125 in the end.

    For 30m? Seems like overkill.
