What is the gauge of cable? I need to run about 85 feet will this work for a cable box to TV use.

The cable has a booster in it and I've used multiple cables together and have no problem

Not really sure the gauge of the cable, I'm currently using it from an LED tv to direct TV box, the cable is enclosed with PVC pipe since I'm using it for outdoor use too a tv in the grotto of a pool, great cable not problems, I've had about a year

I started having trouble with the cable right about 100ft. I did have a couple runs about 150ft, but I ended up having to purchase a 1000ft box of 18/2 and run it to just about all the locations over 100ft.

50' feet is quite a distance. It would possible if you had a really good quality HDMI cable. Maybe. It's really not the function of this device to power such a long run. Even if an excellent cable would work at 50' my guess would be that you would probably be a lot better off financially if you used a booster or active cable as opposed to spending big bucks on a cable. Using a cable booster would also be a much more likely approach to success.

I'm not an expert, but if you try/test it with a shorter cable and it works fine, I would say the run is too long. Hope that helps

You would probably be okay with that gauge of wire for that short of a run. HOWEVER! Be sure to fuse the line in case it overloads or should happen to short to ground over time! I used #0 gauge wire for a 15 foot run to the back of a van and regular battery terminals to attach to the dual post battery.

this remote is programmable, so you should be able to get it to run most other things. I programed it to work both my TV and my home theater system. I don't have a cable box but I would assume you could control that too.

I have my box entirely hidden and the unit works fine with this extender. So for as long of wire as you have I think it would work. However, the extender is specific to certain cable boxes so make sure it really does work with the box you have

as for the cable it self. you want to use the shortest run possible (the longer the run the more chance for signal degradation and interference) You can mitigate some of this by using a "quad shielded" cable. Again, try to get the least distance between your set and the antenna. If you run more than one set or you are farter from the TV station than 50 miles. You will need a antenna booster.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

Sorry, I don't know. We used this to connect our DirecTV box (in our kitchen) to a TV in our kitchen that was about 10-15 feet from the box. It worked like a charm, though, with video and sound.

Awg around 14-16. This is low voltage video cable. you can connect 2 50 foot runs together but would not exceed 2. may have pixel loss.

I don't quite understand your question but I think maybe your asking it wrong. A shorter cable would run more optimally than a longer cable another words, the shorter the cable, the better the signal. That said, if your looking for a long run of 50 ft. look on the specs for that cable check the gauge and signal drop across 50 ft. . Also check on YouTube for help. Hope this helps, Good Luck.

the one that comes with it is junk and is only 6 feet....any cable will work....the best thing to do is to go to you old cable box and back feed the wiring thats already in the house...i gotten a house with 6 tv's up and running this way without running one new wire!!! antenna is GREAT when you get it aimed right....moving it a inch in ether direction can make a station come in or not be there at all....make sure its over the roof line unless you know all the tv stations are in one direction...if you go to tvfool.com and type in your address is will show you where EVERY tv station is relitive to where you are so you know where to aim the antenna...also this one is NOT good if the station are over 45 miles

Works perfect on cable TV wire. Not familiar with the wire you are asking about. Sorry I can't be of help.

They were designed for 30 to 40 amps according to the manufacture. I think you are thinking like house wire that is AC. With DC if I remember correctly you can run 30amp through 16 gauge for approximately 5 feet. But longer distance require lower gauge. 10 gauge is.good for a run of 20 feet. But I agree thicker the wire the better.

I don't have cable tv, so I really don't know what kind of connection is needed for a cable box, so I can't answer the question -- sorry!

If you are using RG59 cable you should keep the distance at or less than 750 feet. Over 750 feet you should switch to an RG6 low loss coaxial cable. IF you plan to bury the cable, ensure that the coax is rated for burial. The real issue is with the power. 700 feet over the small gauge conductor may be an issue, depending on the wire size/quality. Use a voltage drop calculator to determine wire size and input voltage. If using the Qsee brand cable provided with the system, i would say very unlikely to support that distance.
