Hi, will Satelite RG6 cable be good enough to split from main connection on Virgin Media? I need to extend the cable by 15 meters.

Thanks

Alex.

RG 6 are generaly used for high frequency radio signals, cable TV and satellite TV, or when longer runs of 75 ohms cables are required.
so yes to your answer m8

I would always advise using the best cable available out there as dreamboxes sometimes suffer with signal
