Can I run satellite signal for a short haul over standard aerial cable?

Question

I have a piece of reasonable quality aerial cable that goes to a socket in a room with the other accessible end about 2 meters away. It's standard aerial coaxial cable - not normally the same quality used for satellite I know but its still coaxial. What I'd like to do is the use the lower grade coax behind the wall to join onto the high grade PF100 (equivalent to CT100 cable but better for outdoor runs) from the dish using a F type barrel. My thinking is that a short run of low grade coax shouldn't be a problem (and I might be able to get away with having an amplifier by the join) - but then I'm not sure. Can I get away with it?

Cheers

Answer 1

yes it will work,no probs.

Answer 2

Considering how cheap cable is I wonder why you would do this.

Yes you can do it but the signal quality will never be better than the weakest link in the chain i.e standard coax.
