Satellite-TV Broadcast Cables

A satellite-TV broadcast cable is a 75 ohm impedance coaxial cable that carries the broadcast signal from a satellite dish, terrestrial antenna or central distribution system to the receiver. It is used between the LNB on the dish and the satellite receiver, in the central satellite and antenna distribution lines of apartment buildings and housing complexes, and in outlet and splitter connections. In this category, RG6 with a 1.02 mm inner conductor diameter, RG11 with 1.63 mm, and slim Mini cables in U4 and U6 types, in Cu/Cu, Cu/Al and CCS/Al constructions, with PVC and halogen-free sheaths, are sold by the meter mainly from Mekas, and also from the Reçber and 2M brands. Choose the cable type according to line length and distribution structure, the inner conductor and shield material according to acceptable signal loss, and the sheath according to indoor or outdoor installation. On long main lines, the thicker RG11, which has lower attenuation, is preferred; for in-unit and short connections, RG6 and Mini types are preferred. Satellite-TV cables have 75 ohm impedance and are not a substitute for the 50 ohm coaxial cable used on radio or transmitter antenna lines.

How to choose Satellite-TV Broadcast Cables

A satellite-TV broadcast cable is a 75 ohm impedance coaxial cable that carries the broadcast signal from a satellite dish, terrestrial antenna or central distribution system to the receiver. It is used between the LNB on the dish and the satellite receiver, in the central satellite and antenna distribution lines of apartment buildings and housing complexes, and in outlet and splitter connections.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
