If you have some distance to go then make your own cable with VanDamme
Red Series. I'm using the 5 core mini coax over aprox 15m and there is
NO noticeable loss compared to a 1m Ixos cable at =A3100!

You can buy their cables from here h= ttp://www.vdctrading.com/ but I
think they only supply the trade, so if you don't have a business you
may need to get creative ;-).

HTH.

Many thanks
