Description

If you ever come across a single screened cable called “Low Loss” cable, don’t be fooled by it. It most certainly isn’t. Webro WF100 is the cable I use for all of Smart Aerials TV aerial installations. Although I will occasionally use a shotgun cable for satellite over short distances Webro WF100 is undoubtedly the preferred option. WF100 is a foam filled coaxial cable with all copper conductors, so solid copper centre conductor, copper braid and copper shield. Webro HD100 technically is a better cable with its extra cable screen but in my opinion, it isn’t worth the extra expense.

Finally, we get to the part of the blog where I actually recommend cable types for TV systems. I’m just going to bunch a whole bunch of cables here as they’re essentially the same cable made by different manufacturers. When you see the terms SDU and MDU, these stand for Single Dwelling Unit and Multiple Dwelling Unit meaning domestic and communal basically. This means that cable that is certified for “MDU” use is suitable for both domestic and communal installations but not the other way around.

Components of A Coaxial Cable

High quality twin WF100 Coaxial cable can be used for SKY HD/ Freeview HD/Freesat HD, featuring a plain copper foil and wire braiding screening, WF100 cable is CAI approved, CAI is the benchmark standard for aerial and satellite broadcast cables, ensuring accurate transmission of TV signal, A twin satellite cable is sometimes referred to as a shotgun cable and is suitable for satellite installations.

Ideal for running from a dish/LNB to all Sky Plus/HD boxes or Freesat boxes. Once the cable is run, simply terminate it with 'F connectors', also available in our shop. We recommend not using this cable for runs over 35 metres. Suitable for outdoor and indoor use. If you read the early part of this blog you will see I talked about the different coaxial cable sizes, this depends on the cables lengths that you’re installing. I again rate Webro the highest so if you’reinstalling a communal IRS system, I recommend WF100, WF125 and WF165 as suitable cables for doing so. You may even want to get these a multi-core cable to assist with the installation. One way of getting the cable cost down is to reduce the amount of copper inside the cable. This is where Copper Clad Steel & Copper Clad Aluminium cables come in. Although you save money, you lose out considerably in terms of performance so I would opt for all copper conductors instead if the budget allows it. The steel conductor in CCS is prone to rusting over time and the steel conductor doesn’t have it very good current carrying capacity. As there is a considerable voltage drop with cables lengths exceeding 30m using a CCS cable for satellite LNB connections is not a good idea as the voltage drop could cause issues with the LNB switching. The TV 100 cable is ideal for carrying digital TV, digital aerial & satellite and CCTV signals. This features dual copper screening, a foamed PE dielectric and a 1.0mm solid pure copper conductor for high quality signal transference. There is actually a triple screened coaxial cable on the market called HD100. The extra screen is on top of the cable braid. Although the performance on this cable is superior, I personally think that this is overkill and not worth the extra expense. I’m not the only one as the popularity of this cable type hasn’t really caught on.To smallest of all the coaxial cable sizes is 0.65mm cable.This is most commonly used in a pair to form “shotgun” satellite cable for Sky+,Sky Q, Freesat+ and other satellite PVR’s which require two separate LNB connections. Being the smallest of cable sizes, it should only be used for short cable lengths, nothing really above 25m. It will typically lose around 5dB at the highest used frequency every 10m. I have also included modern CT100, PF100 and NX100 as almost equally good to WF100. To be honest they are so similar I wouldn’t worry if you have one instead of the other. There are different types of dielectric materials used for coaxial cabling. The most common are foam filled (my preference) and air spaced, which uses plastic dialectic to maintain the separation between conductors, a common type of the latter is also called honeycomb cable. Although both types work well in terms of performance foam is becoming the norm as it doesn’t kink as easy as the air-spaced cabling. Another term you’re likely to encounter is “shotgun” cable.This is two coaxial cables joined together which makes installation easier as you would usually install a twin cable to satellite PVR’s like Sky+ and Sky Q boxes. Shotgun or twin cable is also commonly referred to as Siamese cable on the other side of the Atlantic for obvious reasons. Most shotgun cable that is installed is a twin 0.65mm coaxial cable which is suitable for short cable lengths and is handy as it can fit through a 10mm hole. There are twin 1mm coaxial cables on the market which are suitable for longer runs.
