Connecting Satellite (Coax) Cable: Possible Side Effects & Best Methods for Combining Cables

Hello. I have a question, is it possible to connect a satellite cable with each other, if so, are there any "side effects" of this action (worse picture, etc.) and what is the best way to combine it? Regards

There will be some losses.
You combine it with a "barrel" and roll it

Will these "losses" be serious?

It all depends on how much cable you have, but I don't think you will notice the difference.

"F" type connectors give the smallest (1.5 dB) attenuation.

It would be about 5m from the antenna itself, and the cable that you want to connect to it is 15m long

If you have a cable, choose a quality cable with low attenuation, the link loss can be ignored. Of course, on the barrel link - an efka, not a twisted pair in the air. The cost of the barrel and efka will certainly be lower than the purchase of a new 20 m long cable section.

Hello
blend smoothly on the barrel and effect and you have nothing to worry about

and a colleague, so many forums, he got so many answers that I think it's scary if it connects well

I have made such a combination many times (barrel + 2 F's) and it always worked, I think it will not be a problem.

I have normally soldered, i.e. the central wires and the screen twisted and soldered on the side, all the insulation is curled.
Probably some damping brings it but you would need a special apparatus to find it out.

And the best way is to let the cable run through the window
It was a pity to make holes in the plastic window, so for a 15 cm section, i.e. passing through the window, I ran the taper of the 3-fold tape. Thanks to this, the window closes together with the cable :)

It's still nothing, a big bird once sat on the converter (set C +) and the plastic arm broke and fell with the converter. Somehow I repaired the boom with an aluminum flat bar, it was hard only to find the right angle. The converter broke a little inside and outside, but after sticking the tape, it flashes for a long time :)

If someone has a converter on sale, I would like to take it.

With today's cable prices, if you have to buy a 15m section and a barrel of +2 EFF, it is better to buy a 20mb section of cable

it should be taken into account that the joint made with a barrel outside corrodes in winter.

Hello

It should also be remembered that there are insulating tapes - the best self-vulcanizing.
I am looking at this plot and I must admit that it is getting a nice comedy-drama :D

Good thing it's just a points system. As if 1 PLN was paid for 1 post, it would just happen!
And by the way, connecting the cable is a really serious matter!

They came up with something like that so as not to drill holes

The point is that I live in a flat, and the owner will not be happy with drilling holes:]

One more thing, is it able to connect cables that are, one with a copper shield and the other with an albumin shield

You can.
You worry about the connection as if you don't know what it was.

If we delve into this topic, in a moment we will come to the point that copper cannot be combined with aluminum I think everything has already been said about it and it can be closed.

I'm a bit oversensitive

I used to connect it with a barrel, but it is raining outside, etc. I know it is not soldering, but I soldered the vulcanization tape and so for 4 years the cable is about 30m without a problem and I did not feel the difference.

What do you mean? Not everyone is a specialist electrician ...
I cheer you
