RE: extending aerial cable...

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I'll definetly go for 1) or 2).
However, my cable boxes are just 25mm deep (I can't put deeper, that't
the
space between plasterboard and concreete), so no much room for
connecting.
Why do I need two male connectors and female-female in the middle? Can I
put
one male and one female, or such thing doesn't exist?
Cheers,
Nik

  Replace the dodgey RF cable with either CT100, or CT125 satelite
cable.  I
  tend to use CT125, Maplins call it FT125 I think, but that just
because it
  makes feel all warm inside!

  To Join the two cables together you have three choices:-
  1) Probably Best - By two F-Connectors (There the sort of connects
you'll
  see used with Sky), and an F-Connector Male to Male adapter (the
adapter
is
  female at both ends).  Using this method you don't need to use
a soldering
  iron, you just strip the cable neatly and screw them on.
  2) Good - Buy a Male and Female Coax connector, You'd likely need
to
solder
  the cables to the connetors though.  You could use two normal
Coax
  connectors and an adapter, but thats one extra join if you know what
I
mean.
  3) Nastey Hack - Simply solder the table cables together, Solder
the
central
  cable, tape it up then ensure the screen cable covers both
nicely.

  Ensure that their arn't any stray wire strands shorting
anything.
