    Default Extending cable extrion

    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

    If you're into making up the cables yourself, there are some good tutorials here:

    and a fairly in depth description of the various cable types here:
