FAQs

Can this cable be used outdoors?

This cable is designed for indoor use. While the PVC jacket is durable, it is not rated for long-term exposure to weather or UV radiation.

Will I lose signal strength over 40 metres?

While all long cables experience some attenuation, the use of high-quality OFC conductors and shielding is designed to minimize signal loss as much as possible.

Is this compatible with Sky or satellite boxes?

This cable uses a standard TV coaxial interface. It is typically used for terrestrial antenna signals; check your device manual to ensure it uses a standard coaxial input.

Can I cut this cable to make it shorter?

It is not recommended. Modifying the cable will break the shielding and integrity of the connectors, likely leading to total signal loss.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

No tools are required. The cable is 'plug-and-play' and connects to standard antenna sockets.

Troubleshooting

Weak or missing signal on the television

Check that both ends of the cable are securely plugged in and ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle.

Interference or 'snowy' picture quality

Ensure the cable is not routed directly alongside power cables, as electrical interference can bleed into the signal.

Connection feels loose at the wall socket

Gently press the strain relief to ensure it is fully engaged; if the wall socket itself is loose, it may require repair by a qualified technician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality gold-plated connectors for superior signal conductivity
  • Effective shielding prevents interference from household electronics
  • OFC conductors provide excellent signal transmission
  • Sturdy construction with strain relief prevents accidental disconnection
  • Generous 40-metre length handles long-distance setups easily

Cons

  • Significant length may require professional cable management
  • May be susceptible to signal drop if routed near major power cables
  • Heavier than standard short-run coaxial cables

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: simply connect the male end into your wall-mounted aerial socket and the female end to your TV or digital receiver. This cable is compatible with standard PAL-type TV coaxial connections found in most residential setups.

To care for your cable:

  • Avoid sharp 90-degree bends that could stress the internal conductors.
  • Keep the cable away from heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the PVC jacket over time.
  • Periodically inspect the gold-plated connectors for dust or debris; if cleaning is necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth.
