Question 1

Will this work with dish network hdtv

Accepted Answer

Yes it does I have dish network and I used it for my dish service however I recommend the quad shielded RG6 solid  pure copper

Question 2

Do i need rg 6 or rg 11 ? i am running satellite tv from house to shop 350 feet away .

Accepted Answer

The Satellite folks recommend runs between antenna and receiver of no longer than 125 feet. This would be with their crappy RG-6 coax, which is pretty lossy at that length.

RG-11 is a much better product for long runs. I purchased 150 foot length of RG-11 from Amazon for my installation for $58.00 and it worked perfectly, with more gain to lose. That is to say that 150 foot run could have been extended with no problem. A 350 foot run, with good cable, might be a stretch at these frequencies.

I would recommend you contact the manufacturer for their thoughts about that distance. The manufacturer is Phat Satellite International. They may have a product that would be guaranteed for your application. Just google Phat and they are easy to find. Their cable quality and delivery was very good.

If not successful, you can just get another subscription and installation from your service carrier.

Question 3

what is the difference in this 20.99 cable and the same 16.99 cable through same company? need for outdoor Rv portable Satelite dish so need best cabl

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure what two cables you're looking at online. You're differentiating the two cables in your question with the price only. I would contact the seller and give the seller the item numbers so they'll know what cables you're comparing. I will say that there are many differences in cables and you should purchase the cable for the use you need. Some of the differences include the type of conductor used, the type of shielding, it may be for "in wall" or "out of wall use", etc.

Question 4

What is outer diameter of cable?  What size snap-on ferrite chokes fit, is what I'm looking for...

Accepted Answer

0.420" OD is for industry standard RG-11 (Belden 7731A). To be sure, just measured my antenna coax to splitter with dial caliper. Suppressor ferrites are excellent idea. Cheers!
