Did the job - extension for Sky
Bought as an extension for the Sky Box after we moved around the living room and the cable wouldn’t reach. Exactly what we needed, fixed to each end - male connection into the sky box and the connector on the other end to create a female connection and fixed nicely into the cable coming from the satellite.White cable and came with some nail clips so up against the skirting board, not quite invisible but near enough for my needs. Someone with more skill could probably make it completely invisible.Length was perfect for what I needed, got length to spare, again someone with more skill that I could shorten it to make it perfect but I have just hidden the redundant cabling behind the TV – not my proudest cable management but it’ll do.No signal loss from my Sky box with the 5m cable, same as it was before adding the extension. Double checked online and the numbers on the photo are good for the signal strength so no complaints from me.

Good quality leads
This is a good product and is of a very good quality also. I see no picture loss when in use. I have purchased some other forms of leads at twice the price for the length in the past and found this product to match and I suppose surpass the quality of more expensive leads. People get really hung up on buying proper expensive leads. OK do not worry to much about that when using the new Ultra HD 4k smart TV,s as the picture doesn't suffer any by using cheaper leads,. You will never ever tell the difference. I have used very expensive interconnects and leads in the past and found no difference whatsoever by using cheaper leads.

Excellent quality
A few things about this cable to note:Firstly the quality feels excellent. Not thin or overly flexible but not so stiff you can't route it. Obviously there's no way to see how the connectors are attached but the picture quality is superb so can't see there being any issue.Secondly it's also worth noting that the cable comes with a small pack of wall clips which was a nice and unexpected bonus and also two of the F connectors have female-to-female adaptors already attached making this nice and easy to use to extend a cable if needed.Superb.

DIY Success :-)
I wanted to have my television moved over to the opposite site of my livingroom but thought it wasn't an option unless I was willing to fork out for an 'expert' to do the work for me. I envisioned them having to drill another hole in the wall for the satellite cable to be moved over.This cable enabled me to move the TV without me shelling out big bucks - and better still I did it myself!I'm quite chuffed as I'm not 'handy' at all :-)Oh and I thought I'd mention that I have a Freesat Humax Digibox opposed to a Sky box and it all works just the same cable wise. Great stuff.

Good price for nice long Virgin-compatible extension cable
Works well and without problem with Virgin to connect distant hook-up point to Tivo in living room. I have this plugged in to the Virgin splitter, and then routed around door frames, etc., to the Tivo. Can be bent to a radius of about two inches without problem, and it's a nice long length. Comes complete with an adaptor for one end to serve as a male-to-female extension. Ends are screw fit, not push-fit, but work fine with the Virgin push-fit connectors. I then have the Virgin "hub" connected to the other output of the splitter and my home router connected to the Virgin hub.

Strong cable and works well for me
This product is exactly what I wanted and in comparison to the cable it is replacing a much higher quality. I bought it a lot longer than I needed which was my own fault but easy to fit to my tv box. It came rolled up and was easy to unroll which was helpful. It also came quickly without any fuss. I like the quality of this and would happily buy it again but do not think that would be needed for a very long time as the quality of this makes me think it will last years. It also fitted really well to the fittings it is supposed to go into and picture is exactly the way it should be. For me it was easy to tighten and this can be a problem for me, after I had all power sources I was connecting it to turned off. I have an outside aerial that does not have a long enough aerial to connect to tv box (sky) this needs an aerial in the back and this is what I used this for. I have had other cables and scary leads that I have found to be ill fitting and what I am using to compare to this product have also had other aerial leads and this is by far a very good one. I am not an expert in cables or electronics but this works exactly how I want and with no problems for me. I do think that it needs to be fitted to your wall to not be just lying on the ground and the parts to do this need to be purchased separately.

Short supply of poor quality cable.
Frankly this is rubbish quality cable, signal loss is very high. I normally buy 100m or 250m reels but was desperate to do a job so bought this. Normally a 25m run will drop perhaps 2 - 3dB on the meter, this dropped 9dB. I cut off an remade the connections just in case but no difference. Apart from the quality when I order 30 metres I expect to receive 30 metres. I got 25 and a bit. Can't return it of course as it's stapled to the wall with the run going across the carpet to reach the box. I will of course have to do the job again when I restock!

Excellent product
This product does what it says on the tin. Easily connected to existing sky cable and has caused no signal issues what so ever. It is quite slim for being a dual cable so it pins neatly along the skirting board. I also laid it under the carpet at the kitchen door which was really easy and you barely notice it's there.Top product and a must if you are thinking about changing the layout of your living space.
