[QUOTE="lazydave, post: 47378, member: 179033"] Rabbit, if your cable run is only 5 metres, then I wouldn't go to a lot of trouble about getting the best sat cable in the world (although it won't hurt, of course). The reason being that you take a hit in signal strength with each connection and according to cable length. But with only 5 metres, the difference between CT125 and standard RG6U is negligible (a fraction of a dB). Almost all your loss will be due to the connectors on either end. So I would focus more on just making sure that the connectors are properly mounted (good contact, water-tight, etc...). [/QUOTE]
