Is there a video or instruction sheet on how to use this product? Can you test a 100' RG6 cable, is there direction on how to do it?

Hi I would think there is a instruction sheet. Not sure on the 100' RG6 cable Thank you for your communication. texasvalue

The tester is in 2 pieces just connect 1 on each end of your cable. On mine I had a 100 ft cable with problems and it scanned it and found 1 broken wire. The tester scans by stepping through the cable 1 wire at a time and if broken it will skip the bad wire. Hope this helps the cheap thing works...

First of all, I would not recommend any lengths longer than 300 feet if data strength and reliability is important. This pertains to cable from any manufacturer. Here's a test. Place a fitting on each end of the cable while it's still in the box. Connect each end to your equipment and and check if it works for you. For this length, I would recommend either in-line repeaters or better yet, use a fiber optic cable.

I used this connector: Cat6a STP Rj45 Shielded Modular Plug - 100 Pieces by VC .It is a bit of a bear to get that wire in these. But it can be done.

There is a connection at the antenna called a BALON I think. It convertes the 300 ohm from the antenna to 75 ohm. Then you can use a RG-6 coax cable from there. I did find that the transformer on the antenna didn't work. I put an external one on and it worked ok. Hope this helps you.

RG-6 is 72 0hm coax, the booster input & output impeadance is 52 ohm, I use Belden 9913 low loss cable to the outdoor antenna & RG-58A/U to the indoor antenna. Both Cables are 52 ohm, the connectors on the booster are type N which would be very hard to use the TV foil shielded coax with.Box works very good with correct antennas & coax. Drew

I don't know about cable length. Maybe you can find a reference for the loss/foot of cable and compare that to the boost. The cable is standard RG6, 75 Ohm, coax

The supplied cables are 60'. You could use a 150' RG5918/2 cable and a plug in power supply to avoid signal degration and power loose on the very small sized cable provided.

I was unable to use mine. I had purchased a dynadock and tried splitting the signal which didn't work. So I had to order another type of cable that was compatible.

I have tested two 50 foot cables separately and the results were positive. One of the cable was good and the other one was bad. I also extended the 50 by joining another 20 and successfully tested 70 foot. I can't technically comment for 120 but, check the batteries.

In addition to my previous answer, consider low-loss cable. It is more expensive, but compare the db loss per foot between that and RG-6. Yes, the cable they provide is RG-6. It is not a even premium RG-6.

You probaably could use that cable, but i thinks its overkill, RG-6 coax would suffice

I have not done this, it does not come with the cable. You have to buy it separate. I plan on buying one later. I believe this is the one needed. I think there are cheaper ones, this is just the one I picked out for ours to order at a later date. hope this is helpful . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NCAT6U/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A35BV4NHHC5J5C

Jeff I just tested 875' of RG6 just for you. This tester will test for continuity for that length and more.

I routed up the driver side post, then over the top of the head liner to a point just above the mirror. On my rig, the 6 Foot cable was not long enough. You can buy a standard Ethernet cable ( I chose 6 feet, black) to work as an extension. You'll also need a union to connect the extension to the provided cable. All pretty straight forward. By using the extension, you can hide all the above dash routing, and still unplug the provided cable and scan gauge to use in another vehicle. I needed NO tools, but I did use some zip ties to secure the cable. I'm VERY happy with my scan gauge. Should have bought it long ago.

if you buy the kit it comes with 75 ohm RG6 cable. best of luck. i am very happy with the results

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?
