This 25-meter black twin coaxial cable from Loops is designed for users needing reliable, long-distance signal transmission for satellite TV systems, including Sky Plus/HD and Freesat. Its foam-filled, pure copper construction ensures excellent signal quality and strength, but a potential caveat is that longer lengths may not be supplied on a reel, requiring careful uncoiling. Key features include its robust build, suitability for indoor/outdoor use, and straightforward termination with F connectors.

The cable has a standard impedance of 75 ohms, which is suitable for satellite and terrestrial TV applications.
While primarily designed for satellite, this 75-ohm coaxial cable can also be used for terrestrial Freeview if your aerial and receiver setup requires this type of connection and impedance. However, for standard aerial installations, 300-ohm twin-lead or standard 75-ohm coaxial cables might be more common.
The foam-filled core provides enhanced dielectric insulation, which helps to reduce signal loss over long distances and improves the cable's ability to resist interference compared to solid polyethylene cores.
When connecting outdoors, use weatherproof F connectors and consider applying self-amalgamating tape or a weatherproof boot over the connection point to protect it from moisture and UV damage.
The velocity factor of this cable is 0.83, which indicates the speed of signal propagation relative to the speed of light in a vacuum.
Yes, you can cut the cable to any desired length. Ensure you use appropriate F connectors to terminate the cut ends for a secure connection.
While the cable is designed for outdoor use, direct burial without additional protective conduit is not recommended. For underground runs, it's best to use a cable specifically rated for burial or protect this cable within a conduit.
Check that both ends of the coaxial cable are securely connected to the LNB and the receiver. Inspect the F connectors for a solid connection and ensure no stray wires are bridging the center conductor. Verify that the cable is not damaged or kinked along its length. Ensure the correct input is selected on the receiver.
This could be due to a poor connection or damage to the cable. Re-terminate the F connectors on both ends, ensuring a clean and secure fit. Check the cable for any visible signs of damage, especially where it is exposed to the elements. If the problem persists, consider replacing the cable.
Ensure you are using the correct size F connector for 75-ohm coaxial cable. Carefully strip the cable as per the instructions, ensuring the earth braid is folded back neatly and the center conductor is straight and free of nicks. Do not overtighten the connector if it is a screw-on type.
