To choose the right antenna cable, you need to study its technical data sheet, as well as insulation and braiding. It is necessary to pay attention to the service life, indicators of resistance and attenuation.
Necessary
A piece of cable with markings, its technical passport
Instructions
Step 1
Read the cable markings carefully. It is important that its central core is made of copper or copper-plated steel. Due to this, the cable will have rigidity and good performance.
Step 2
Examine the outer insulation of the cable. It must be solid and inelastic. Run your fingernail over the insulation. If pieces of material are peeling, then such a cable should not be used between the TV and the antenna.
Step 3
Remove the top layer of insulation and check the braiding of the center core shield for tightness. The more thin braided wires, the denser the screen, the less interference it will have.
Step 4
Pay attention to the passport data of the cable. The lower the TV signal attenuation value at a certain frequency and cable length, the better the TV broadcast conditions.
