CT100 v's CT125

["brougham Baker" <bro-yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've read the wiring guide. Is it still a case of no debate- go with
CT100?

I know CT125 is harder to work with (larger diameter, stiffer) and costs
more but is there any argument for greater bandwidth\less attenuation now
that there is free-sat HD?

Are we for still air-insulated rather than foam filled? I've seen the
less-kinkable v's water ingress argument, is there any more?

Also what about sheath colour- I'd like white, same as the walls but
understood that the black was more UV resistant- is this still the case?

Is it OK to terminate this stuff in the same cab as Cat5E when used for
FM\UHF\Sat? I'm going to get an 8xLNB, four of which will go straight to
the
lounge (passing through the cab with slack to allow patching later if
needed). The other four will terminate on F sockets on a patch panel. There
will be other runs to various locations including from an amp for uhf. This
will be in the same cab as the Cat5E patch panels and maybe the
switch\active Cat5 kit.

My Node0 has been ostracized to the loft, thus my Kingspan questions on the
Selfbuild list. I'm going for a warm roof- I don't have a problem with a
cold roof during the winter, it's cooking all my kit in the summer that I
do.

Cheers,
Bro
