I'm looking to relocate my digibox to another room in my house, but need about 10m more cables to do so. It seems the cableing off of the digibox is not normal coax as i thought, but the connectors have screw-on connections with a very narrow 'pin' in the centre of them (im sure you all know what i mean)

What are these cables actually called? (so i know what to ask for) and are there any issues with cable length, are repeaters needed etc.

TIA

Gary

just as a point of interest they are called F-type connectors.

Thanks, found that out after nosing around some shops; and it seems i was wrong - it actually IS normal coax cable.

Just a quick question though,

Ive had to extent the cable a total of 20m, does such thing as a repeater for these F-type cables exist? Or booster even?

TIA
