Have you got specs for RG6 and RG11? I'd be interested to see them. |
Generally, satellite cable will work at TV frequencies and give a much lower loss than 'normal' TV coax. A cable which is designed to give low loss at 2GHz will give even lower losses when used at lower frequencies, as shown in spec tables.
The problem when using some satellite cables for TV use, is their inflexability. Generally, the lower the loss, the thicker the cable, so they become very hard to handle. CT100 is a good compromise (IMO).
I've found a few sites with tables for various cables. The figures I quoted in my previous post, were from the Maplin catalogue. Depending on the manufacturer, the figures for the same cable can vary slightly.
