Would this cable be good for an hdtv outdoor 100 ft. run to guest housing? (to reduce signal loss / voltage drop)

Exactly like the other two responses! I can't remember the .name of the connector/fitting but I had to get a slightly larger one for the RG11 conductor you can find that online or at radio shack . It works great!

Yes, the signal loss is less than that of RG6 or RG59. This is the same cable that my CATV installer used for a 250' run to my house.

Not really sure, ours was 25 foot and works well. There are HDMI amplifiers and it may provide the signal strength for additional lengths for optimal performance. This cable is rated for in wall installation and was priced at a fair value (about 75% less than electronic stores charge) and was chosen after considerable amount of research. I did not see cable length much greater than 50 ft. most were shorter but recall there were some posts regarding lengths for long runs and that an amplifier was needed. We use an amplifier for our TV cable and it works great- got it through Amazon. There are some informative posts that will probably better explain this. Hope this helps - Not really sure, ours was 25 foot and works well. There are HDMI amplifiers and it may provide the signal strength for additional lengths for optimal performance.

Thats beyond cat5 range as you know. I suggest running a shielded pvc insulated cable for max throughput, and it may still not work.

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.

If this is for a residential installation it doesn't matter since this is a low voltage cable as most low volt cables are compliant in residential homes. If this is for a commercial building then it will need to be plenum rated which this cable is not, so it is not suitable for commercial application.

I would not use this type of cable outside for a long run especially if exposed to elements. It's not rated for that.

It's unlikely that your signal will be perfect after such a long run, using decent quality low loss cable may help. This unit replicates the video and audio signals very nicely, but doesn't "boost" or amplify them for long haul cable runs. There are some other similar products that have an adjustable output level that may better suit your needs for a 500ft run.

Short answer, yes. The is no shielding for the signal on UTP wire. For anything over 150' you would want to use a RG59 cable, if you need the powerlines, then get RG59 Siamese cable. that will get you up to about 300-500 feet, you can typically go up to about 1800' if you run RG6.

Try connecting it with a different cable to see if the 100' cable is bad. Try different ports if you have a multiport POE injector. While I'm no expert, I would also recommend using solid copper CAT6 cable for a run that long. I have this camera on a long run of solid CAT6 and it works perfect.

It would seem that it would, I don't believe there is a "friction" signal loss associated with the length. I have 2, 25ft. HDMI cables with a connector union in my cruiser with a small Magnavox blue ray player, with no degradation in picture quality. The place to get the cable is Triangle Cables; trianglecables.com

If this is going to be used outdoors you need to use outdoor rated cable. If not then no.

It is a thin cable but may be too much for the house. If you have a large area to cover, may be a good bet for the house. I use it on an electric lawnmower but find it too thin for my tastes.

The simple answer is that it depends on the length. The longer the run, the larger wire should be used. If it is a few feet, there will likely be no discernible difference. It it is 100' probably the reading would be lower due to the voltage drop.

It all depends on how long the run is and if it will be going near any electrical cables. Electrical cables and long cable runs often cause annoying humms. A good quality cable like this one should alleviate those problems. If it is still an issue, mind my asking what type and model your AV Recever is?

I ran it for 100' without apparent signal loss. I would try without amplifier and if signal is low than install a amplifier. Living in an obstructed viewing area (Satellite) placement was more important than distance for signal strength.

it should be used outside at the point of connection to your home from the cable service. it also needs to be properly grounded to your electrical system to be funcitional. the cable company will have grounded their initial attachment, remove that ground and connect it to this device. make sure you have the cable feed from the company connected at the end that (i believe from memory) says "service", the other end will say something like "customer", that's where you connect the line that goes into the house. i also recommend securing this to the house structure via the mounting holes provided. make up your connections wrench tight to help prevent oxidation of the copper center which carries the signal. best of luck to you. remember, connect it outside at the point of attachment and ground it.

I used a 25' with no loss or signal and that was out of a I phone. I think that you would be ok with a good quality 50' XLR cable without any dropouts.
