High Quality Satellite Cable

[angryfarang]

Can anyone tell me the best quality satellite cable available over here?

 

Is it possible to buy WF/CT100?

 

I need to do a couple of long(ish) runs and want the best available.

Where is "here"? In Phuket KeeHin has much in way of cables.

I'm in Samui, but can am happy to order from anywhere in Thailand.

I think you will find RG-6 and RG-11 to be the two predominate RF/TV cables sold in Thailand.  RG-11 has significantly lower attenuation per length, around 40% lower.  RG-11 is also better for an outdoor run or underground conduit run as it's a sturdier cable.   RG-6 cable is the lower cost cable, flexible, and fine for inside short runs and widely available...works fine for outside runs also but will deteriorate much faster than RG-11 in the sun/heat/humidity....and as mentioned RG-6 has greater attenuation (i.e., signal gain loss) per length than RG-11.  For a long run go with RG-11.

Thanks Man.  RG-11 it is!

I have used RG-11 in single-sideband installations aboard boats here, just make sure you get the fittings for the fatter cable. KeeHin here in Phuket has it, or at least they did the last time I looked for it, about a year ago. It is a large electrical contractor supply house and quite technically proficient, should be able to handle an inquiry and order from Samui.

75ohm for the boat radio strange, I thought it would be rg8/au the 50 ohm equivalent for the radio like normal.
