Cable Forum - View Single Post - Need advice on moving modem to a different room

Hi,

i came across this site from google and did a bit of searching on this topic but i still have some unanswered questions.

i basically want to run a coaxial cable from the white box on the wall from one room through the loft into another room. Overall the length will probably be around 10 metres.

what i was wondering is will there be signal loss because of the distance even if i buy a good quality cable and connectors? would it be better to run 4 cat 5e cables to the other room instead for the devices? (i am not a fan of wireless and also this would mean my cable box would have to stay in old room)

any help would be much appreciated, thanks
