Is Satellite Cable The Same As Tv Aerial Cable

I use either ct100 of rg6 as a minimum but you can get lower loss cables at greater expense.

Is satellite cable the same as tv aerial cable.

Wf100 is a foam filled coaxial cable with all copper conductors so solid copper centre conductor copper braid and copper shield. I need to move my tv and the satellite cable is not long enough but i do have some aerial coax can i just put the satellite plugs on the other coax cable. Take a look at splitters that let you hook up two screens to the same antennae. Yes it will work the satellite cable is better quality than standard coax but will still carry the tv signal 2011 10 09t23 30 02 01 00 answered 9th oct 2011.

Satellite cable will work just fine with tv aerials too if you still have some left over or can get it cheap. However for satellite use there is one extra consideration can you actually terminate the cable. There is no such thing as sky cable it is a marketing ploy to charge extra for good quality satellite cable. I replaced my internal ariel cables with this superior coax cable it was a type ct100 when i replaced mine.

All you need between the lnb on your dish and any receiving equipment is good quality satllite coaxial cable not standard uhf tv cable. Sorry for being a dullard here but can anyone tell me if there is a difference between what is sold as satellite cable and ordinary aerial coaxial cable. Webro wf100 is the cable i use for all of smart aerials tv aerial installations. Longer cables let you position the screen on a tv bracket and reach the socket with ease.

The old tv plug would fit on any old bit of coax and i have for a short patch lead used 50 ohm cable however with the plugs and sockets used for satellite if wrong cable is used you can t get the plugs to fit on the cable. I would hazard a guess that if the cable comes from a dish already and assuming isnt damaged in anyway that it is adequate. Can you use the same cable for satellite dish and loft aerial. It is the same type of cable but the quality of the cable varies widly.
