Hi
I hope someone can help me out on this because I am going mad
listening to different advice from different satellite equipment
companies!
I have just purchased a Humax IR-CI 5400 and all the kit to install a motorised dish using a Jeager 128G H-H mount to be driven by my existing Pace MSS1008IP. My problem is simple - or so I thought! What sort of cable should I use to connect from the built in Pace positioner to the Jaeger128. Everyone I have asked is agreed on 4 core (I guess that bit is easy) but when it comes to the gauge of the cable I am getting answers from 0.25 to 0.75 and the reply alternates between screened and unscreened according to which way the wind is blowing and the time of day. In addition my cable run will be about 22 metres and no one will answer the question of whether this distance is OK i.e. is it too far or will I need some kind of repeater in the cable run?
Can someone please help me out and point me in the right direction? If you do recommend a particular type of cable it would be very much appreciated if you could give the name a company who can supply it.
To be honest as someone new to the field of motorised satellite
installations the whole experience of buying my kit, and particularly this cable, has left me feeling very unimpressed with the professionalism of the industry.
Very many thanks :-)
