New cables power levels assistance required, please?

Hi all,

Can someone please assist with the following --

I have just run some new PH100 cable (outside) for my ntl SACM to replace the previous cheap cable (inside) and am experiencing problems with the power levels.

Both cables are about the same length (20m).

The new cable has been terminated with satellite screw type wall sockets so I just patch in the SACP and ntl feed.

Upstream power remains the same but the Downstream power changes and problems occur.


Upstream transmit Power Level : 40.3 dBmV

Old cable -
Downstream Receive Power Level : -4.2 dBmV
Download : 1.2MBps

New cable -
Downstream Receive Power Level : -19.5 dBmV
Download rate : 100KBps


Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

gazbiggs
