recommendations Coaxial cables
Newly designed SMATV systems should absolutely use reputable brand cables, at least with Class A designation. It is very
important due to the fact that the spectrum of the distributed signals is very wide (47-2400 MHz). Cheap cables are not suitable for
multiswitch systems because of high attenuation and poor shielding. The consequence would be be crosstalk between cables.
