[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 1075, member: 175057"] Yep, the guy certainly knows his coax, I think the 1/2 inch coax for domestic installation is probably a bit of overkill. I think the main guide in the UK is that if they sell it in B&Q it's crap :) Most of the CT100 or equivalent coax cables are more than adequate for the average installation, being double screened with a loss of around 25 DB per 100 metres at 2Ghz. I personally use a foam cable with double screen, the outer being copper, this I find suitable for all but the longest runs, it is quite rigid and great for poking through cavity walls :) Rolf [/QUOTE]
